read_netcdf: Read a 2d field from NetCDF file.

In andrew-MET/mepsr: Utilities for MEPS data

Description

read_netcdf returns a 2d field from a NetCDF file for a given member and lead time. This function has only been tested on MEPS data. The levels argument will currently only get data on pressure levels.

Usage

read_netcdf(filename, parameter, member, lead_time, level = NULL,
  oper_sfx = FALSE)

Arguments

filename	NetCDF file name to read from.
parameter	Parameter to read - may be a parameter in the netcdf file or a standard HARP parameter name.
member	The member to read from the file.
lead_time	The lead time to read from the file.
level	The pressure level for the data

Value

A 2-d array.

Examples

file_name <- "/lustre/storeB/immutable/archive/projects/metproduction/MEPS/2018/01/01/meps_extracted_2_5km_20180101T00Z.nc"
model_field <- read_netcdf(file_name, "air_temperature_2m", 0, 0)
model_field <- read_netcdf(file_name, "T2m", 0, 0)
