read_h5_L3b: Read NASA OBPG level-3 binned file contents

In BIO-RSG/oceancolouR: Various Functions for Satellite and Data Analysis

Read NASA OBPG level-3 binned file contents

Description

Note that NASA OBPG L3b file formats are hierarchical netCDF (.nc). Currently netCDF cannot read these, but the hdf5r library can. This function is just a wrapper for a few useful functions in that library, returning the main file contents in a more familiar format.

Usage

read_h5_L3b(h5_file, var_name = NULL)

Arguments

h5_file	String, h5 filename
var_name	Character vector, names of variable(s) to extract (example: "level-3_binned_data/chlor_a"). If left NULL, all dataset variables will be returned.

Value

List containing a dataframe summarizing the contents of the file, global attributes, and data from selected variables and their attributes.
