unitFromStringRsk

Vector of character strings, holding the `units` entry in the
<code>channels</code> table of the <code>.rsk</code> database.

This is used by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/read.rsk?package=oce&version=1.1-1" data-mini-rdoc="oce::read.rsk">read.rsk</a></code> to infer the units of data, based
on strings stored in <code>.rsk</code> files. Lacking a definitive guide
to the format of these file, this function was based on visual inspection
of the data contained within a few sample files; unusual sensors may
not be handled properly.

Supports the analysis of Oceanographic data, including 'ADCP'
measurements, measurements made with 'argo' floats, 'CTD' measurements,
sectional data, sea-level time series, coastline and topographic data, etc.
Provides specialized functions for calculating seawater properties such as
potential temperature in either the 'UNESCO' or 'TEOS-10' equation of state.
Produces graphical displays that conform to the conventions of the
Oceanographic literature. This package is discussed extensively in
Dan Kelley's book Oceanographic Analysis with R, published
in 2018 by 'Springer-Verlag' with ISBN 978-1-4939-8842-6.
