## Plot meteorological data

### Description

Plot meteorological data

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'met'
    plot(x,
         which=1:4,
         mgp=getOption("oceMgp"),
         mar=c(mgp[1]+1,mgp[1]+1,mgp[1]+1,mgp[1]+1),
         tformat,
         debug=getOption("oceDebug"),
         ...)

### Arguments

`x` | A `ctd` object, e.g. as read by `read.met`, or a list containing items named `salinity` and `temperature`.

`which`

list of desired plot types.

- `which=1` gives a time-series plot of temperature

- `which=2` gives a time-series plot of pressure

- `which=3` gives a time-series plot of the x (eastward) component of velocity

- `which=4` gives a time-series plot of the y (northward) component of velocity

`mgp` | 3-element numerical vector to use for `par(mgp)`, and also for `par(mar)`, computed from this. The default is tighter than the R default, in order to use more space for the data and less for the axes.
`mar` | value to be used with `par("mar")`.
`tformat` | optional argument passed to `oce.plot.ts`, for plot types that call that function. (See `strptime` for the format used.)
`debug` | set to `TRUE` to get debugging information during processing.
`...` | optional arguments passed to plotting functions. A common example is to set `df`, for use in swN2 calculations.

### Details

Creates a multi-panel summary plot of data measured in a meteorological data set. cast. The panels are controlled by the `which` argument. Normally, 4 panels are specified with the `which`, but it can also be useful to specify less than 4 panels, and then to draw other panels after this call.

If more than one panel is drawn, then on exit from `plot.met`, the value of `par` will be reset to the value it had before the function call. However, if only one panel is drawn, the adjustments to `par` made within `plot.met` are left in place, so that further additions may be made to the plot.
