The type of model used to make predictions. One of
"Harmonic"or `"Subordinate".Descriptions from NOAA:
Harmonic stations are stations with tidal harmonic constants and tidal datums. Tide predictions for harmonic stations are generated directly from the harmonic constants. Harmonic stations have the greatest capabilities within the NOAA Tide Predictions service for providing predictions with different data intervals and relative to different tidal datums. These capabilities are controlled within the interface.
Subordinate stations are historic stations which do not have tidal harmonic constants available. Tide predictions for subordinate stations are generated by first generating high/low tide predictions for a designated harmonic station, called the "reference station"; then time and height adjustments are applied to correct the high/low predictions to the tidal conditions at the subordinate station. Subordinate stations only allow for the generation of high/low tide predictions, and heights will be relative to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), the standard chart datum for the U.S. coastline.
