Plots data from MET files

## 1. SYNOPSIS

[data, yd ] = meteo2(yb, in_file, out_file, dr, v_list, plt, info, inst )

## 2. DESCRIPTION

Read the given MET file and plots the specified variables for the given date range. Input files have the following columns:

1. Date
2. Time
3. Reference reading
4. Relative wind speed
5. Relative wind direction
6. Ship speed
7. Heading
8. Air pressure
9. Air temperature
10. Relative humidity
11. Sea temperature
12. Wind speed
13. Wind direction

Use can also use this function from the Matlab script meteo(1m).

## 3. PARAMETERS

yb

  Year base.

in_file

  Name of MET input file.

out_file

  Cell array of variable names. These must be the same as the labels defined in the MET file. Possible values are date,time,ref. reading,rel. wind speed,rel. wind dir. ,ship speed ,heading,air pressure,air temp.,rel. humidity ,sea temp.,wind speed,and wind dir.. A subplot for each of the specified variables will be generated.

plt

  Plot title.

info

  Additionnal information string to be printed.

inst
