as.met {oce} | R Documentation |
Coerces a dataset into a met dataset. This fills in only a few of the typical
data fields, so the returned object is much
sparser than the output from read.met
. Also, almost no
metadata fields are filled in, so the resultant object does not store
station location, units of the data, data-quality flags, etc. Anyone working
with data from Environment Canada [2] is advised to use read.met
instead of the present function.
as.met(time, temperature, pressure, u, v, filename = "(constructed from data)")
time |
Either a vector of observation times (or character strings that can be
coerced into times) or the output from |
temperature |
vector of temperatures. |
pressure |
vector of pressures. |
u |
vector of eastward wind speed in m/s. |
v |
vector of northward wind speed in m/s. |
filename |
optional string indicating data source |
An object of met-class
.
