argoFloats-class {argoFloats} | R Documentation |
In the normal situation, users will not create these objects directly. Instead,
they are created by functions such as getIndex()
.
data
The data
slot is a list with contents that vary with the object type. For example,
getIndex()
creates objects of type "index"
that have a single unnamed
element in data
that is a data frame. This data frame has a column named file
that is used in combination with metadata@ftpRoot
to form a URL for downloading,
along with columns named date
, latitude
, longitude
,
ocean
, profiler_type
, institution
and date_update
. Other "get" functions
create objects with different contents.
metadata
The metadata
slot is a list containing information about the data. The contents vary
between objects and object types. That type is indicated by elements named
type
and subtype
, which are checked by many functions within the package.
processingLog
The processingLog
slot is a list containing time-stamped processing steps that may be
stored in the object by argoFloats functions. These are noted in summary()
calls.
