read.amsr

Read an amsr file, generating an amsr object.
Two file types are handled: type 1 is from gzipped files that were available
until perhaps the year 2022, and type 2 is from NetCDF files that
were available afterwards.
The type is stored in the <code>metadata</code> slot
as <code>type</code>, and this is detected in other functions relating to
amsr data. The best way to locate amsr files is to use
<code>download.amsr()</code>, but if this fails, it may be necessary to search
the web for a source.

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 by
Kelley (2018) "Oceanographic Analysis with R" <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-8844-0>.
