make.section: Bind CTD profiles together into a cross section

Description

Combine a series of CTD profiles together to create a section.

Usage

make.section(item, ...)

Arguments

item

either a ctd object, in which case the rest of the arguments are other ctd objects, or a list of ctd objects.

...

a list of ctd objects, either given as separate arguments (the normal procedure) or as a list.

Value

• An object of class "section" (for details, see read.section).

Details

The ctd stations must share identical pressure values; use section.grid to do that.

read.ctd reads CTD data. section is a sample data set.

Examples

library(oce)
data(ctd)
ctd.warmed <- ctd
ctd.warmed$data$temperature <- ctd.warmed$data$temperature + 0.5
ctd.warmed$metadata$latitude <- ctd.warmed$metadata$latitude + 0.1
section <- make.section(ctd, ctd.warmed)
summary(section)
plot(section, at=c(1,2), labels=c("Original","Warmed"))
