Download the 2D spectrum data from IFREMER ftp

Usage

get_2d_spectrum(point, start = "1994-01-01", end = "1994-02-28")

Arguments

point: the location name (string) requested. Alternatively, the node number. The consistency is checked internally.
start: the starting date (as a string). The consistency is checked internally.
end: the ending date as a string

Value
