read.argo.copernicus: Read an argo File in Copernicus Format

In dankelley/oce: Analysis of Oceanographic Data

Read an argo File in Copernicus Format

Description

This function was added to read a particular file downloaded from the Fleet Monitoring website (Reference 1). The format was inferred through examination of the file and a brief study of a document (Reference 2) that describes the format. Not all fields are read by this function; see Reference 3 for a full list and note that the author would be happy to add new entries (but not to spend hours entering then all).

Usage

read.argo.copernicus(
  file,
  encoding = NA,
  debug = getOption("oceDebug"),
  processingLog,
  ...
)

Arguments

file	A character string giving the name of the file to load.
encoding	ignored.
debug	A flag that turns on debugging. Set to 1 to get a moderate amount of debugging information, or 0 (the default) for silent operation.
processingLog	ignored.
...	ignored.
