Get a Field for NetCDF

Description

An internal function that reads data from an NetCDF .nc file.

Usage

getField_NetCDF(
  source,
  quant,
  layers = NULL,
  target.STAInfo,
  file.name,
  verbose = FALSE,
  nc.verbose = FALSE,
  vars.to.ignore = c("time_bnds", "lon_bnds", "lat_bnds", "lat", "lon"),
  calendar = "standard"
)

Arguments

`source`	A Source containing the meta-data about the NetCDF source
`quant`	A Quantity object to specify what quantity should be opened.
`layers`	A character string (or a vector of character strings) specifying which variables from the NetCDF file are to be read. NULL (default) means read all.
`file.name`	Character string holding the name of the file. This can be left blank, in which case the file name is automatically generated
`verbose`	A logical, set to true to give progress/debug information
`nc.verbose`	A logical, set to true to give progress/debug information from the ncdf4 package functions. This can be a lot, so it is handy to control that separately.
`vars.to.ignore`	A list of character strings specifying which cvariables not to read. These are typically metadata about the coordinate data (hence the defaults ""time_bnds", "lon_bnds", "lat_bnds", "lat" and "lon"), but you can also use this argument to ignore a particular data variable from a file.
`calendar`	Character string, sometimes the calendar string on the time axis can be incorrect or missing. Here you can manually provide it. Note: A common error in paleo files is "standard" instead of "proleptic_gregorian". Specifically, if you have dates with years 1582 (the start of the Gregorian calendar) and it includes leap years the calendar needs to be set to "proleptic_gregorian".
`target.sta.info`	An STAInfo object defining the spatial-temporal-annual extent over which we want the data
