## Class to store hydrographic data

### Description

Class to store hydrographic data such as measured with a lowered ADP (also known as ADCP) device.

### Methods

Consider an object named `ladp`.

Accessing metadata.

Metadata (contained in the S4 slot named `metadata`) may be retrieved or set by name, `ladp[["longitude"]] <- ladp[["longitude"]] + 1` corrects a one-degree error. Use `names(ladp@metadata)` to find the names of the metadata.

Accessing measured data.

Column data may be accessed by name, e.g. `ladp[["u"]]`, `ladp[["v"]]`, `ladp[["pressure"]]`, etc. There may also be columns for `"temperature"` and `"salinity"`, and possibly other things. Use `names(ladp@data)` to find the names of the data.

Overview of contents.

The `show` method (e.g. `show(ladp)`) displays information about the object. The `summary` method shows some statistical information.
