Overview

About

Maintained by Benjamin JonesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

This package contains a set of functions for manipulating and visualizing output from numerical ocean models. Many of the routines are targeted towards Lagrangian particle-tracking models with the data stored in NetCDF files. This package may be useful to spatial marine ecologists and biological or physical oceanographers.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ocean/ocean_0.2-4.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "ocean_0.2-4.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.2-4) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("btjones16/ocean")

Development version from btjones16/ocean. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
