This is used by tidem() to permit users to specify constituent names in either the T-TIDE convention (see Pawlowicz et al. 2002) or Foreman convention (see Foreman (1978). There are only two such instances: "MS", which gets translated to "M8", and "UPSI", which gets translated to "UPS1".

tidemConstituentNameFix(names, debug = 1)

Arguments

names a vector of character values, holding constituent names an integer controlling warnings. If this is zero, then no warnings are issued during processing; otherwise, as is the default, warnings are issued for each conversion that is required.

Value

A vector of character values of tidal constituent names, in the Foreman naming convention.
