ModelEquilibriumTide

Computes the equilibrium ocean tide of the long periodic tideGeneratingPotential.

The ocean surface is represented by gridOcean and the gravitational effect is numerical integrated to spherical harmonics using maxDegree, GM, and R.

It takes 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.
