swfscMisc

Description

swfscMisc is a collection of utility functions used at the Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, CA. The package contains functions for geodesic calculations, commonly used mapping functions, plotting special symbols, interacting with DAS sighting data generated by the line-transect survey data entry program WinCruz, and miscellaneous analytical and conversion functions.
