The ocedata package supplies some oceanographic datasets, for general use and
as an adjunct to the oce package. Indeed, some of the datasets were once
supplied by oce, but they were moved to ocedata to reduce storage pressure
on the CRAN system, based on the assumption that oce will be updated more
frequently than ocedata.
Stable versions of ocedata may be installed from within R, in the same way as
other packages, with
install.packages("ocedata")
However, this version is only updated a few times a year (pursuant to CRAN
policy), so some users install ocedata from the github.com website instead,
to get the latest version. This may be done with
library(devtools)
install_github("dankelley/ocedata", ref="main")
