Coerce Data Into an ladp object

Description

This function assembles vectors of pressure and velocity, possibly also with shears, salinity, temperature, etc.

Usage

as.ladp(
  longitude,
  latitude,
  station,
  time,
  pressure,
  u,
  v,
  uz,
  vz,
  salinity,
  temperature,
  ...
)

Arguments

longitude	longitude in degrees east, or an oce object that contains the data otherwise given by longitude and the other arguments.
latitude	latitude in degrees east (use negative in southern hemisphere).
station	number or string indicating station ID.
time	time at the start of the profile, constructed by e.g. as.POSIXct().
pressure	pressure in decibars, through the water column.
u	eastward velocity (m/s).
v	northward velocity (m/s).
uz	vertical derivative of eastward velocity (1/s).
vz	vertical derivative of northward velocity (1/s).
salinity	salinity through the water column, in practical salinity units.
temperature	temperature through the water column.
...	optional additional data columns.

Value

An ladp object.
