## About ocedata

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`.


## Installing 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")
