...or the last year and using the UKFSST package to look at satellite tag track data and SST information. Fpr those not familiar, the package uses the positions estimated by the satellite tags themselves and the associated SST data from servers (in this case, from the University of Hawaii and the NOAA Coastwatch website) for the time preiod to estimate a reasonable track the animal took while it was at liberty. I'm currently having trouble downloading data from two different servers which I never had a problem before I recevied an upgraded computer with McAfee 8.5. When the package goes to the various...

...olor palette avaliable similar to what is used in satellite ocean color imagery? I.e. a gradient with blue on one end and red on the other, with yellow in the middle? I have tried topo.colors(n) but that comes out more yellow on the end. I am looking for something similar to what is found on the CoastWatch web page: http://oceanwatch.pifsc.noaa.gov/imagery/GA2009281_2009282_sst_2D_eddy.jpg Thanks!

...to download files form a service, in this case a .csv file. When I use httr::content on the result, I get a message. Since this will be in a package. I want to suppress the message, but haven't figured out how to do so. The following should reproduce the result: myURL <- 'https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/erdMH1sstdmday.csvp?time[0:1:last]' r1 <- httr::GET(myURL) junk <- httr::content(r1) when the last command is run, you get: Parsed with column specification: cols( `time (UTC)` = col_datetime(format = "") ) I want to suppress that output. Thank...

Has anyone written a script or function to read data from NODC?s World Ocean Database files? (I know there are simple Fortran and C programs to read these files, but the output is not suitable for easy analysis) Thanks, Franz _____________________________________________________ Dr. Franz J.

Dear R Users - R is a wonderful software package. CRAN provides a variety of tools to work on your data. But R is not apt to utilize all the public databases in an efficient manner. I observed the most tedious part with R is searching and downloading the data from public databases and putting it into the right format. I could not find a package on CRAN which offers exactly this fundamental
