parseLatLon

Parse a latitude or longitude string, e.g. as in the header of a CTD file
The following formats are understood (for, e.g. latitude):
<div class="sourceCode"></div><pre><code>** NMEA Latitude = 47 54.760 N
** Latitude: 47 53.27 N
</code></pre>
Note that <code><a href="/link/iconv()?package=oce&version=1.8-2" data-mini-rdoc="oce::iconv()">iconv()</a></code> is called to convert the string to ASCII before
decoding, to change any degree (or other non-ASCII) symbols to blanks.

Supports the analysis of Oceanographic data, including 'ADCP'
measurements, measurements made with 'argo' floats, 'CTD' measurements,
sectional data, sea-level time series, coastline and topographic data, etc.
Provides specialized functions for calculating seawater properties such as
potential temperature in either the 'UNESCO' or 'TEOS-10' equation of state.
Produces graphical displays that conform to the conventions of the
Oceanographic literature. This package is discussed extensively by
Kelley (2018) "Oceanographic Analysis with R" <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-8844-0>.
