Coerce Data Into an argo Object

Description

Coerce a dataset into an argo dataset. This is not the right way to read official argo datasets, which are provided in NetCDF format and may be read with read.argo().

Usage

as.argo(
  time,
  longitude,
  latitude,
  salinity,
  temperature,
  pressure,
  units = NULL,
  id,
  filename = "",
  missingValue
)

Arguments

`time`	a vector of POSIXct times.
`longitude`	a vector of longitudes.
`latitude`	a vector of latitudes.
`salinity`	a vector of salinities.
`temperature`	a vector of temperatures.
`pressure`	a vector of pressures.
`units`	an optional list containing units. If `NULL`, the default, then `"degree east"` is used for `longitude`, `"degree north"` for `latitude`, `""` for `salinity`, `"ITS-90"` for `temperature`, and `"dbar"` for `pressure`.
`id`	an identifier for the argo float, typically a number, but stored within the object in a character form. (For example, the dataset retrieved with `data(argo)` has an `id` of `"6900388"`.)
`filename`	a source filename, which defaults to an empty string.
`missingValue`	an optional missing value, indicating data values that should be taken as `NA`.

Value

An argo object.
