\title{Tidal Current Dataset}
\source{
The data come from the \code{tide8.dat} and \code{tide9.dat} files provided
at reference 2.
}
\description{
The \code{tidalCurrent} dataset contains tidal velocities reported in
Foreman's (1978) report (reference 1) on his Fortran code for the analysis of
tidal currents and provided in an associated webpage (reference 2).
Here, \code{tidalCurrent} is data frame containing
\itemize{
\item \code{time} a POSIXct time.
\item \code{u} the eastward component of velocity in m/s.
\item \code{v} the northward component of velocity in m/s.
}
}
\examples{
library(oce)
data(tidalCurrent)
par(mfrow = c(2, 1))
oce.plot.ts(tidalCurrent$time, tidalCurrent$u, ylab = "u [m/s]")
abline(h = 0, col = 2)
oce.plot.ts(tidalCurrent$time, tidalCurrent$v, ylab = "v [m/s]")
abline(h = 0, col = 2)
