## Coerce data into a CM object

### Description

Coerce data into a CM object

### Usage

    as.cm(time, u = NULL, v = NULL, pressure = NULL, conductivity = NULL,
      temperature = NULL, salinity = NULL, longitude = NA, latitude = NA,
      filename = "", debug = getOption("oceDebug"))

### Arguments

`time` | A vector of times of observation, or an `oce` object that holds `time`, in addition to either both `u` and `v`, or both `directionTrue` and `speedHorizontal`.
`u` | either a numerical vector containing the eastward component of velocity, in m/s, or an `oce` object that can can be coerced into a `cm` object. In the second case, the other arguments to the present function are ignored.
`v` | vector containing the northward component of velocity in m/s.
`pressure` | vector containing pressure in dbar. Ignored if the first argument contains an `oce` object holding pressure.
`conductivity` | Optional vector of conductivity. Ignored if the first argument contains an `oce` object holding pressure.
`temperature` | Optional vector of temperature. Ignored if the first argument contains an `oce` object holding temperature
`salinity` | Optional vector of salinity, assumed to be Practical Salinity. Ignored if the first argument contains an `oce` object holding saliity
`longitude` | Optional longitude in degrees East. Ignored if the first argument contains an `oce` object holding longitude.
`latitude` | Latitude in degrees North. Ignored if the first argument contains an `oce` object holding latitude.
`filename` | Optional source file name

`debug`

an integer specifying whether debugging information is to be printed during the processing. This is a general parameter that is used by many `oce` functions. Generally, setting `debug=0` turns off the printing, while higher values suggest that more information be printed. If one function calls another, it usually reduces the value of `debug` first, so that a user can often obtain deeper debugging by specifying higher `debug` values.
