rsk-class: Class to store RBR rsk data
Description
Class for data stored in the ``Ruskin'' format used by RBR
[1] (including both rsk SQLite files and the ASCII txt
exported files),
with the standard oce slots, as follows.{: a list containing the time, plus other columns
for data recorded by the device.}
metadata {: a list containing the information about the data.}
processingLog {: a log of processing steps, in the standard
oce format.}Methods
Data may be accessed as e.g. rsk[["time"]], where the
string could also be "pressure" or "temperature". Items in
metadata must be specifield by full name, but those in data may
be abbreviated, so long as the abbreviation is unique. Assignment can be made
with e.g. rsk[["pressure"]] <- value, etc.References

A rsk object may be read with read.rsk or created
with as.rsk. Plots can be made with plot.rsk,
while summary.rsk produces statistical summaries and show
produces overviews. If atmospheric pressure has not been removed from the
data, the functions rskPatm may provide guidance as to its
value; however, this last function is no equal to decent record-keeping at
sea.
