Get the tide height at a particular station corresponding to a series of date, times. Note due to limitations in the rtide package this only works for about a third of the Buzzards Bay NOAA tide stations.

get_tide_height.Rdget_tide_height() is a wrapper to rtide::tide_height() that works
with a date time vector and also checks the station against
tide_station_info.
Arguments
- dt
Series of date-time values as POSIXct. The timezone must be properly set.
- station
A station name or station ID as it appears in tide_station_info.
Value
A series of tide heights corresponding to the date-times in dt
Heights are in meters and, I think, are relative to
MLLW
(Mean Lower Low Water). Although, I could only find this stated about
individual stations and not for all stations in general.
See for example the datum information for PENIKESE ISLAND MA, which states "NOTICE: All data values are relative to the MLLW.".
