oce (version 0.9-20)

odf-class: Class to Store ODF data

Description

Class for data stored in a format used at Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans laboratories. This is somewhat unusual amongst oce classes, in that it does not map to a particular instrument, but rather to a storage type; in that sense, it is similar to the bremen-class.

Methods

Consider an ODF object named odf. Accessing metadata. Metadata (contained in the S4 slot named metadata) may be retrieved or set by name, odf[["longitude"]] <- odf[["longitude"]] + 1 corrects a one-degree error. Accessing measured data. Column data may be accessed by name, e.g. odf[["salinity"]], odf[["temperature"]], odf[["pressure"]], etc. It is up to the user to realize what is in the object. Assigning values. Items stored in the object may be altered with e.g. odf[["salinity"]] <- rep(35,10). Overview of contents. The show method (e.g. show(odf)) displays information about the object.
