R 1.8.0 on Windows XP Professional. A huge THANK YOU to the R Team for this marvelous software. I am making lattice plots of oceanographic data. The usual layout does not conform to plotting conventions that marine scientists use when depth is the independent variable. Under those conventions, plots are made with the origin at the upper left, depth on the vertical axis (increasing as it

Dear Rcommunity, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek your assistance with a data visualization problem I am facing while working with R.

Paul Murrell has a

Dear R listers, When using smooth.spline to interpolate data, results are generally good. However, some cases produce totally unreasonable results. The data are values of pressure, temperature, and salinity from a probe that is lowered into the ocean, and the objective is to interpolate temperature and salinity to specified pressures. While smooth.spline provides excellent values at the

My apologies for he very short time before things close, but it's not my fault. If necessary get your hat in the ring by Friday and see to the niceties later, may I suggest. This is a vacancy in my group in Cleveland. The work is interesting and the challenges large.

I am exploring the use of loess for oceanographic applications and would like to plot the locations (longitude and latitude) points where the models (salinity~temperature*longitude*latitude,parametric="temperature") are fitted. Chambers and Hastie(1993) explains the locations are nodes of a k-d tree. but I cannot find anything about accessing this information. It would be useful to

Hi all, I am a beginner trying to use R to work with large amounts of oceanographic data, and I find that computations can be VERY slow. In particular, computational speed seems to depend strongly on the number and size of the objects that are loaded (when R starts up). The same computations are significantly faster when all but the essential objects are removed. I am running R on a machine

I've been using (and loving) R for quite a while now, but I have to admit that something simple is still stumping me. The question is how I can control the box within which a plot is drawn, in cases where I'm controlling the aspect ratio with the "asp" argument. The problem comes up in pdf() and png() output formats, but also with interactive windows, and so I'll

Colleagues, I am analyzing data collected during oceanographic cruises. We have conducted many cruises over the last decade. On each cruise we visit ~50 stations. At each station (termed EventNum)we lower an instrument that measures depth, temperature, salinity and oxygen every few seconds as it is lowered through the water. Data from all EventNums on all cruises are stacked, generating a data

...ages of barnacle larvae from 5 species. Each panel of the plot represents a different stage, while different loess smoothers within each panel should represent different species. However, I would like depth to be on the y-axis and abundance to be on the x-axis, because this is more intuitive as an oceanographer. The smoothing curves would then represent the abundance profiles with depth of the larvae. I have tried just switching depth and abundance in the plot formula/coding, but this means that the loess smoother is based on averaging depth values for each abundance, which means that the curves give mult...

The University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS) is seeking a research associate to work with hydrographic data. The objective of the project is to develop statistical models for estimating salinity and density from observations of temperature together with knowledge of location and time. Because the relationship between salinity and temperature can be

Can someone point me to the appropriate functions for fitting multiple statistical models that are coupled to each other. The data are measurements of salinity s and temperature t at stations id and pressures at p as well as surface elevations h at stations id. The problem is, for any new station, to estimate s at all p, given t at all p and given h. If h is ignored, the for each p, there
