Oceanographic Analysis With R
This book presents the R software environment as a key tool for oceanographic computations and provides a rationale for usng R instead of more widely-used tools of the fields such as MATLAB. Kelley provides a general introduction to R before introducing the oce package. This package greatly simplifies oceanographic analysis by handling the details of discipline specific file formats, calculations, and plots. Designed for real-world application and developed with open-source protocols, oce supports a broad range of practical work. Generic functions take care of general operations such as subsetting and plotting data, while specialized functions address a host of specific tasks, such as tidal decomposition, hydrographic analysis, and ADCP coordinate transformation. In addition, the package makes it easy to document work, because it's fuctions automatically update processing logs stored within it's data objects. Kelley teaches key R functions using classic examples from the history of oceanography. Specifically the work of Alfred Redfield, Gordon Riley, J. Tuzo Wilson, and Walter Munk. Acknowledging the prevasive popularity of MATLAB, The book provides advice to users who would like to switch to R. With it's suite of real life applications and over 100 exercises and solutions, the treatment is ideal for oceanographers, technicians, and students who want to add R to their list of tools for oceanographic analysis.
