R2D2 is a set of Fortran programs, linked by a procedure file, for rapid retrieval and display of hydrographic, current meter, and pressure gauge data. Data are stored as random access disk files for rapid access and sorting. Programs are interactive and have graphics capability. A wide range of display and analysis outputs are available, including time series plots, data listings, statistics, spectral and tide analysis, empirical orthogonal function analysis, and maps of properties. Routines are described from a user's point of view, with output examples.
