create_variable_definition: Create a variable definition

In jmp75/efts: High-Level Functions to Read and Write Ensemble Forecast Time Series in netCDF

Create a variable definition

Description

Create a variable definition usable by the function create_efts_variables to create netCDF variables.

Usage

create_variable_definition(name, longname = "", units = "mm",
  missval = -9999, precision = "double", dim_type = "4",
  var_attribute = create_var_attribute_definition())

Arguments

name	variable name
longname	variable long name
units	variable units
missval	value code for missing data
precision	precision
dim_type	dimension type (EFTS integer code)
var_attribute	list of attributes for the netCDF variable to create

Value

a list

Examples

var_def <- create_variable_definition(name='rain_der', 
  longname='Rainfall ensemble forecast derived from some prediction', units='mm', 
  missval=-9999.0, precision='double', var_attribute=list(type=2L, 
    description="accumulated over the preceding interval", 
    dat_type = "der", dat_type_description="AWAP data interpolated from observations",
    location_type = "Point"))
