Currently, tides are displayed using MSL (Mean Sea Level) format. It has been reported that that is not the universal format to show tides which is why I will add an option to tide modules allowing to choose from the following tidal datums:
MSL (Mean Sea Level): The average sea level. The height of the sea surface averaged over a period of time (such as a month or a year), and over all stages of the tide. Used as a reference for elevations on land.
LAT (Lowest Astronomical Tide): The lowest tide level possible under average meteorological conditions and under any combination of astronomical conditions.
HAT (Highest Astronomical Tide): The highest tide level possible under average meteorological conditions and under any combination of astronomical conditions.
MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water): The average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the National Tidal Datum Epoch.
MHHW (Mean Higher High Water): The average of the higher high water height of each tidal day observed over the National Tidal Datum Epoch.
MHW (Mean High Water): The average of all the high water heights observed over the National Tidal Datum Epoch.
MLW (Mean Low Water): The average of all the low water heights observed over the National Tidal Datum Epoch.
MTL (Mean Tide Level): The average of the mean high water and mean low water heights.
DTL (Diurnal Tide Level): The average of the high and low waters over a 24-hour period for locations that experience one high and one low tide each tidal day.
GT (Great Diurnal Range): The difference in height between Mean Higher High Water and Mean Lower Low Water.
MN (Mean Range of Tide): The difference between the mean high water and mean low water.
DHQ (Diurnal High Water Inequality): The difference in height between the higher high waters and lower high waters of each day in areas with diurnal tides.
DLQ (Diurnal Low Water Inequality): The difference in height between the lower low waters and higher low waters of each day in areas with diurnal tides.
