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
.
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.
