Class TidalDisplacement

    public class TidalDisplacement
    extends Object
    implements StationDisplacement
    Modeling of displacement of reference points due to tidal effects.

    This class implements displacement of reference point (i.e. ground stations) due to tidal effects, as per IERS conventions.

    Displacement can be computed with respect to either conventional tide free or mean tide coordinates. The difference between the two systems is about -12cm at poles and +6cm at equator. Selecting one system or the other depends on how the station coordinates have been computed (i.e. it depends whether the coordinates already include the permanent deformation or not).

    Instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable
