REddyProcNCDF-package: Reading data from NetCDF files for REddyProc

In REddyProcNCDF: Reading Data from NetCDF Files for 'REddyProc'

Description

This package enhances REddyProc a package for standard and extensible Eddy-Covariance data post-processing includes uStar-filtering, gap-filling, and flux-partitioning. A general description and an online tool based on this REddyProc can be found here: https://www.bgc-jena.mpg.de/bgi/index.php/Services/REddyProcWeb.

This package adds functionality to read data from netCDF files.

Details

Reading data from NetCDF files was formerly part of REddyProc, but has been factored to this own package to decrease the number of dependencies in REddyProc.

The main functions

• Reading standard data from a NetCDF file: fLoadFluxNCIntoDataframe

• Reading a specific variable from a NetCDF file: fAddNCFVar

The package works with alternative backend-packages that are installed. For the default is the first entry of argument packageNames in requireNetCDFPackage. If the preference order for a specific package is changed, provide argument use: prefNcPkg = requireNetCDFPackage(myPreferenceNameVector) and subsequently specify argument ncPkg = prefNcPkg to other functions.

Time may be stored in different formats, and fLoadFluxNCIntoDataframe is parameterized by a argument fReadTime. The following functions are provided to construct time from different formats: These functions help with the preparation of your data for the analysis:

• from columnns 'year',...,'hour': fReadTimeSeveralCols

• from column in ISODate integer format: fReadTimeBerkeley

Further functionality.

• Get site information from BGI NetCDF files: fLoadFluxNCInfo
