splittime: Split timesteps of a dataset

In rcdo: Wrapper of 'CDO' Operators

Split timesteps of a dataset

Description

This module splits infile into timesteps pieces. The output files will be named <obase><xxx><suffix> where suffix is the filename extension derived from the file format. xxx and the contents of the output files depends on the chosen operator.

Usage

cdo_splitday(ifile, format = NULL, obase = NULL)

cdo_splithour(ifile, format = NULL, obase = NULL)

cdo_splitmon(ifile, format = NULL, obase = NULL)

cdo_splitseas(ifile, format = NULL, obase = NULL)

cdo_splityear(ifile, format = NULL, obase = NULL)

cdo_splityearmon(ifile, format = NULL, obase = NULL)

Arguments

ifile	String with the path to the input file.
format	STRING - C-style format for strftime() (e.g. %B for the full month name)
obase	String with the basename of the output files.

Details

splithour     Split hours
              Splits a file into pieces, one for each different hour.
              xxx will have two digits with the hour.
splitday      Split days
              Splits a file into pieces, one for each different day.
              xxx will have two digits with the day.
splitseas     Split seasons
              Splits a file into pieces, one for each different season.
              xxx will have three characters with the season.
splityear     Split years
              Splits a file into pieces, one for each different year.
              xxx will have four digits with the year (YYYY).
splityearmon  Split in years and months
              Splits a file into pieces, one for each different year and month.
              xxx will have six digits with the year and month (YYYYMM).
splitmon      Split months
              Splits a file into pieces, one for each different month.
              xxx will have two digits with the month.

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.

Note

Operators of this module need to open all output files simultaneously. The maximum number of open files depends on the operating system!
