Significance of the File
Provides information about a geoposition and optional the local amplitudes of the partial tides
File-Contents (in Catchwords)
- Key of geoposition
- Coordinate reference system as EPSG code (optional, strongly recommended)
- Gauß-Krüger coordinates of the geoposition
- bathymetric depth of the geoposition
- long name of the geoposition
- shortcut of the geoposition
The inclusion of the coordinate reference system leads to automatic transformation of the coordinates into the coordinate reference system given by the environment variable BAWCRS, if specified, when file is read through the subroutines listed below or by GEOTRANSFORMER. Older files should be updated with a coordinate reference before use.
This general information is followed by the keyword ENDFILE or END_GENERAL. This keyword indicates that the part with general information is finished .
The following (optional) part contains the tidal amplitudes an begins with BEGIN_TIDES:
- reference time zone of the phases (optional, default is GMT)
- tide amplitude A_0 (constant part of the tidal signal)
- keys and related tidal amplitudes and local phase shifts of the partial tides
This part is closed by the keyword END_TIDES.
