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.
