setpartab: Set parameter table

In rcdo: Wrapper of 'CDO' Operators

Set parameter table

Description

This module transforms data and metadata of infile via a parameter table and writes the result to outfile. A parameter table is an ASCII formatted file with a set of parameter entries for each variable. Each new set have to start with "&parameter" and to end with "/". The following parameter table entries are supported: Entry & Type & Description name & WORD & Name of the variable out_name & WORD & New name of the variable param & WORD & Parameter identifier (GRIB1: code[.tabnum]; GRIB2: num[.cat[.dis]]) out_param & WORD & New parameter identifier type & WORD & Data type (real or double) standard_name & WORD & As defined in the CF standard name table long_name & STRING & Describing the variable units & STRING & Specifying the units for the variable comment & STRING & Information concerning the variable cell_methods & STRING & Information concerning calculation of means or climatologies cell_measures & STRING & Indicates the names of the variables containing cell areas and volumes filterspec & STRING & NetCDF4 filter specification missing_value & FLOAT & Specifying how missing data will be identified valid_min & FLOAT & Minimum valid value valid_max & FLOAT & Maximum valid value ok_min_mean_abs & FLOAT & Minimum absolute mean ok_max_mean_abs & FLOAT & Maximum absolute mean factor & FLOAT & Scale factor delete & INTEGER & Set to 1 to delete variable convert & INTEGER & Set to 1 to convert the unit if necessary Unsupported parameter table entries are stored as variable attributes. The search key for the variable depends on the operator. Use setpartabn to search variables by the name. This is typically used for NetCDF datasets. The operator setpartabp searches variables by the parameter ID.

Usage

cdo_setpartabn(ifile, table = NULL, convert = NULL, ofile = NULL)

cdo_setpartabp(ifile, table = NULL, convert = NULL, ofile = NULL)

Arguments

ifile	String with the path to the input file.
table	STRING - Parameter table file or name
convert	STRING - Converts the units if necessary
ofile	String with the path to the output file.

Details

setpartabp  Set parameter table
            Search variables by the parameter identifier.
setpartabn  Set parameter table
            Search variables by name.

Value

Operators that output one or more files return a character vector to the output files.

Operators that output an indefinite number of files return a string with the basename of the files.

Operatos that don't return filenames return a character vector with the string output.
