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.

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.
