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

Create a variables definition data frame

Description

Create a variable definition usable by the function create_variable_definitions to create netCDF variables. The use of this function is not compulsory to create a EFTS netCDF schema, just offered as a convenience.

Usage

create_variable_definition_dataframe(variable_names,
  long_names = variable_names, standard_names = variable_names,
  units = "mm", missval = -9999, precision = "double",
  dimensions = 4L, var_attributes = create_var_attribute_definition())

Arguments

variable_names	character vector, names of the variables
long_names	character vector, long names of the variables (defaults to variable_names if missing)
standard_names	character vector, standard names of the variables (optional, defaults to variable_names)
units	character vector, units for the variable(s)
missval	numeric vector, missing value code(s) for the variable(s)
precision	character vector, precision of the variables
dimensions	character or integer vector, number of dimensions each variable (2, 3 or 4)
var_attributes	a list of named attributes. See create_var_attribute_definition

Value

a data frame suitable for create_variable_definition
