The data were created as
sealevel <-
read.oce("490-01-JAN-2003_slev.csv") sealevel <- oce.edit(sealevel,
"longitude", -sealevel[["longitude"]], reason="Fix longitude hemisphere")
where the csv file was downloaded from reference 1. Note the correction of longitude sign, which is required because the data file has no indication that this is the western hemisphere.
