bremen-class {oce} | R Documentation

## Class for data stored in a format used at Bremen

### Description

Class for data stored in a format used at Bremen. This is somewhat unusual amongst `oce` classes, in that it does not map to a particular instrument, but rather to a storage type; in that sense, it is similar to the `odf-class`.

### Methods

Consider an object named `bremen`.

Accessing metadata.

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

Accessing measured data.

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

Overview of contents.

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

### See Also

A file containing Bremen profile data may be read with `read.bremen`.

Statistical summaries are provided by `summary.bremen`, while `show` displays an overview.

Bremen objects may be plotted with `plot.bremen`, although it is more common to coerce to another class and plot that.
