In helgegoessling/SIDFEx: Tools for the Sea Ice Drift Forecast Experiment (SIDFEx)

Load OSI-SAF data from NetCDF file and process sea-ice concentration and underlying grid

Description

This function reads the grid information and sea-ice concentration from the frequently downloaded NetCDF file. It then applies sl.lonlat2D.c2i from spheRlab and returns the sea-ice contration together with the ouput of the spheRlab routine.

Usage

  sidfex.osisaf.nc2rda(filename, do.noSIC2NA = T)

Arguments

filename	the path and filename of the OSI-SAF datafile (must be the same or comparable to the available .nc files on OSI-SAF ftp server: "ftp://osisaf.met.no/prod/ice/conc/").
do.noSIC2NA	a boolean value (default: TRUE); if TRUE, all points with no sea ice are set to NA to yield a white (better: colorless) ocean.

Value

Returns sea-ice concentration and processed grid data, also sets all datapoints without sea ice to NA.

Note

The output can be further processed with sidfex.osisaf.SIC2dev.
