R help - Mar 2017 - Need class/object type advice to store a particular data structure

Hello Everyone,

I have a particular data structure and need your advice what would be the best
class/object type to store this kind of a data.

In summary, data is consist of a time series of vertical observations of more
than one variables. Observations are made at a particular latitude/longitude
location.  Hence, I may have observation locations more than one.

In detail, imagine a list of data.frames and each data.frame contains 7 columns
and variable number of rows. Rows represent the vertical coordinate meaning
height from surface. Columns are observed variables. Each list of data.frame is
belong to a single measurement location that has a latitude and longitude.

So, this is a time series of data.frames but number of rows might change. Is
there a class to store this kind of data, for instance, such as SpatialPoints,
SPatialPointsDataFrame or RasterStack or Raster object?

I?m asking this question, because I want to take advantage of a ready class for
statistical calculations.

Thanks in advance;

Ismail SEZEN

Can't personally help, but I assume you've checked out the CRAN
"Spatial" task view, right?

... or, better yet, the SpatioTemperal task view ...
