Create a rsk object.
Usage
as.rsk(
time,
columns,
filename = "",
instrumentType = "rbr",
serialNumber = "",
model = "",
sampleInterval = NA,
debug = getOption("oceDebug")
)Arguments
- time
a vector of times for the data.
- columns
a list or data frame containing the measurements at the indicated times; see “Details”.
- filename
optional name of file containing the data.
- instrumentType
type of instrument.
- serialNumber
serial number for instrument.
- model
instrument model type, e.g.
"RBRduo".- sampleInterval
sampling interval. If given as
NA, then this is estimated as the median difference in times.- debug
a flag that can be set to
TRUEto turn on debugging.
Value
An rsk object.
Details
The contents of columns are be copied into the data slot
of the returned object directly, so it is critical that the names and units
correspond to those expected by other code dealing with
rsk objects. If there is a conductivity, it must be called
conductivity, and it must be in units of mS/cm. If there is a
temperature, it must be called temperature, and it must be an in-situ
value recorded in ITS-90 units. And if there is a pressure, it must be
absolute pressure (sea pressure plus atmospheric pressure) and it must
be named pressure. No checks are made within as.rsk on any of
these rules, but if they are broken, you may expect problems with any further
processing.
