The ocedata package supplies some oceanographic
datasets, for general use and as an adjunct to the oce
package. Indeed, some of the datasets were once supplied by
oce, but they were moved to ocedata to reduce
storage pressure on the CRAN system, based on the assumption that
oce will be updated more frequently than
ocedata.
Stable versions of ocedata may be installed from within
R, in the same way as other packages, with
install.packages("ocedata")However, this version is only updated a few times a year (pursuant to
CRAN policy), so some users install ocedata from the
github.com website instead, to get the latest version. This may be done
with
library(devtools)
install_github("dankelley/ocedata", ref="main")
