In ncdf.tools: Easier 'NetCDF' File Handling

Description

This function writes an empty netCDF file with variable names, dimensions and attributes formatted in a standardized way.

Usage

createStdNcdfFile(var.names, file.name = c(), units = "[]", lat.values = c(), 
    long.values = c(), time.values = c(), add.dims = list(), 
    lat.length = length(lat.values), long.length = length(long.values), 
    time.length = length(time.values), year.start.end = c(), 
    scale_factor = 1, add_offset = 0, type.var = "NC_DOUBLE", 
    missing_value = -9999, con.atts = c(), data = c())

Arguments

var.names	character string: name of the target variable in the file
file.name	character string: name of the file. If not given, this is determined automatically in a standardized way from the variable name and the dimension extends.
units	character string: units of variable (should be compatible with udunits)
lat.values	numeric values: coordinate values for the latitude positions.
long.values	numeric values: coordinate values for the latitude positions.
time.values	POSIXct vector: time values for the time dimension
add.dims
lat.length	integer: length of the latitude dimension
long.length	integer: length of the longitude dimension
time.length	integer: length of the time dimension
year.start.end	integer vector (length two): start and end year. If not given, this is determined from the time vector.
scale_factor	numeric: scale factor
add_offset	numeric: offset
type.var	character string: type of the data
missing_value	numeric: missing data value
con.atts	RNetCDF file connection: Possible file to use as source for copying attributes to the new file.
data

Value

character string: name off the file created.
