readNetCDF: Read in NetCDF data

In jonasbhend/geoutils: package to read in and analyse climate model output in NetCDF format

Description

This function reads in NetCDF data and stores it in an object with class 'NetCDF'

Usage

readNetCDF(filename, varname = NULL, mask = NULL, mulc = 1)

Arguments

filename	path to input NetCDF file
varname	variable name to read in (one at a time)
mask	vector (logical) with lon-lat indices to be read in
mulc	Multiplicative factor to be multiplied with NetCDF data (see details)

Details

The multiplicative factor can be of length 1 or any subset of the time dimension of the input data so that seasonal data can be converted from units per month to units per season with different multiplicative constants per season.

Units attribute will not get converted if multiplicative constant is different from unity.

Examples

tas <- readNetCDF(system.file("extdata", "annual_CRUTEMv3_1961-90.nc", package="geoutils"), varname="temp")
names(attributes(tas))
dim(tas)
