read.ctd()
is a base function that in turn calls specialized functions, e.g.
read.ctd.odf
for the ODF data used in Fisheries and Oceans (Canada),
read.ctd.woce
for data in World Ocean Circulation Experiment format,
read.ctd.woce.other
for a variant of WOCE data,
read.ctd.itp
for ice-tethered-profiler data, or
read.ctd.sbe
for Seabird data.
An object of ctd-class
. The details of the contents
depend on the source file. The metadata
slot is particularly
variable across data formats, because the meta-information provided
in those formats varies widely.
