Written by Tyler Sutterley (04/2022)
Calculates the spherical harmonic offset to change tide systems

CALLING SEQUENCE:
    delta = calculate_tidal_offset(TIDE, GM, R, refell)

INPUT:
    TIDE: output tidal system
        tide_free: no permanent direct and indirect tidal potentials
        mean_tide: permanent tidal potentials (direct and indirect)
        zero_tide: permanent direct tidal potential removed
    R: average radius used in gravity model
    GM: geocentric gravitational constant used in gravity model
    refell: reference ellipsoid name
        CLK66 = Clarke 1866
        GRS67 = Geodetic Reference System 1967
        GRS80 = Geodetic Reference System 1980
        WGS72 = World Geodetic System 1972
        WGS84 = World Geodetic System 1984
        ATS77 = Quasi-earth centred ellipsoid for ATS77
        NAD27 = North American Datum 1927
        NAD83 = North American Datum 1983
        INTER = International
        KRASS = Krassovsky (USSR)
        MAIRY = Modified Airy (Ireland 1965/1975)
        TOPEX = TOPEX/POSEIDON ellipsoid
        EGM96 = EGM 1996 gravity model

OPTIONS:
    LOVE: load love number for degree 2
    REFERENCE: original tidal system
        tide_free: no permanent direct and indirect tidal potentials
        mean_tide: permanent tidal potentials (direct and indirect)
        zero_tide: permanent direct tidal potential removed

OUTPUT:
    delta: offset for changing to tide system

UPDATE HISTORY:
    Updated 04/2022: updated docstrings to numpy documentation format
    Updated 09/2021: can change from different tidal systems and to tide free
    Updated 11/2020: added function docstrings
