plot.TS {oce} | R Documentation |
Plot temperature-salinity diagram for seawater (CTD) data.
plot.TS(x, rho.levels = 6, grid = FALSE, col.grid = "lightgray", rho1000 = FALSE, col = par("col"), col.rho = "darkgray", cex.rho = 0.9*par("cex"), cex = par("cex"), pch = 21, rotate.rho.labels = FALSE, connect.points = FALSE, xlab, ylab, Slim, Tlim, ...)
x |
A cdt object, e.g. as read by read.ctd . |
rho.levels |
Either a list of density levels for which to draw
isopycnal lines, or a suggestion for the number of levels.
In the latter case, pretty() is used to select levels. |
grid |
a flag that can be set to TRUE to get a grid. |
col.grid |
color of grid. |
rho1000 |
if TRUE, label isopycnals as e.g. 1024; if FALSE, label as e.g. 24 |
col |
colour for symbols. |
col.rho |
colour for isopycnal lines. |
cex.rho |
size of isopycnal labels. |
cex |
size of symbols on graph. |
pch |
code for symbols on graph. |
rotate.rho.labels |
if TRUE, labels in right-hand margin are written vertically |
connect.points |
if TRUE, the points are connected with line segments, in sequence |
xlab |
optional label for the x axis, with default "Salinity [PSU]". |
ylab |
optional label for the y axis, with default "Temperature [C]". |
Slim |
optional limits for salinity axis, otherwise inferred from data. |
Tlim |
optional limits for temperature axis, otherwise inferred from data. |
... |
optional arguments passed to plotting functions. |
Creates a temperature-salinity plot for a CTD cast, with labeled isopycnals.
None.

summary.ctd
summarizes the information, while
read.ctd
scans it from a file.
