product.description: Get product details

In markpayneatwork/RCMEMS: Interface to the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service Datastore

Description

Requests details from the CMEMS servers about a specific product, including temporal coverage and depth layers

Usage

product.description(x, variable = "missing", quiet = TRUE)

Arguments

x	An object of class CMEMS.config containing the configuration parameters. At a minimum, the python, script, motu, service.id and product.id slots need to be populated.
variable	Specifies the object to return. Valid values are "times" and "depths". All other values, including omission, return an xml object describing the product.
quiet	Logical, indicating whether to supress output

Details

This function returns the description that is associated with the particular product id. The depths result is self explanatory, but the times result can be hard to work with, as it is encoded in ISO 8061 format. See https://github.com/clstoulouse/motu#describe-product for details.
