Supports the analysis of Oceanographic data,
 including ADP measurements, CTD measurements, sectional
 data, sea-level time series, coastline files, etc.  
 Provides functions for calculating seawater properties

Analysis of Oceanographic data

drifter-class function

Data may be accessed as e.g. <code>pt[["time"]]</code>, where the
    string could also be <code>"latitude"</code> or <code>"longitude"</code>.  The profile
    data are available in <code>"salinity"</code>, <code>"temperature"</code> and
    <code>"pressure"</code>, each of which is a matrix with first index corresponding
    to depth and second index corresponding to profile number.  Assignment to
    these can be made with e.g. <code>drifter[["latitude"]] &lt;- value</code>, etc.
    Indeed, any quantity in the <code>metadata</code> slot or the <code>data</code> slot
    can be retrieved or updated in this way.
