ModelEquilibriumTide

Computes the equilibrium ocean tide of the long periodic tideGeneratingPotential. The spherical harmonics expansion up to maxDegree with GM and R is estimated using a least squares adjustment.

The inputfileDensityGrid must be a global regular grid with the vertically averaged seawater density over the ocean and zero over land.

It takes iteratively self attraction and loading into account using the Love numbers inputfilePotentialLoadLoveNumber and inputfileDeformationLoadLoveNumber.

Additionally the effects of the solid Earth tide are considered, both the gravitational (Love numbers k20, k20plus) and the geometrical (Love numbers h20,0, h20,2) effect.
