Base Class for oce Objects

This is mainly used within oce to create sub-classes, although users can use new("oce") to create a blank oce object, if desired.

Slots

metadata

A list containing information about the data. The contents vary across sub-classes, e.g. an adp object has information about beam patterns, which obviously would not make sense for a ctd object In addition, all classes have items named units and flags, used to store information on the units of the data, and the data quality.

data

A list containing the data.

processingLog

A list containing time-stamped processing steps, typically stored in the object by oce functions.
