argo-class: Class to hold argo data

Description

This class stores data from argo drifters. It will be in fairly active development in the early months of 2016.

Details

An argo object may be read with read.argo or created with as.argo. Argo data can be gridded to constant pressures with argoGrid. Plots can be made with plot.argo, while summary.argo produces statistical summaries and show produces overviews. The usual oce generic functions are available, e.g. [[,argo-method may be used to extract data, and [[<-,argo-method may be used to insert data.

See http://www.argo.ucsd.edu/Gridded_fields.html for some argo-related datasets that may be useful in a wider context.
