write2ncdf: Saves climate data as netCDF.

In metno/esd.test: Climate analysis and empirical-statistical downscaling (ESD) package for monthly and daily data.

Description

Method to save station data as netCDF, making sure to include the data structure and meta-data (attributes). The code tries to follow the netCDf 'CF' convention. The method is built on the ncdf4 package.

Usage

write2ncdf(x,file,...)
write2ncdf.station(x,file,prec='short',missval=-99.9,offs=0,scalf=0.1,
                   torg='1899-12-31',verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

x	data object
file	file name
prec	Precision: see ncvar_def
missval	Missing value: see ncvar_def
offs	Sets the attribute 'add_offset' which is added to the values stored (to save space may be represented as 'short').
scalf	Sets the atttribute 'scale_factor' which is used to scale (multiply) the values stored (to save space may be represented as 'short').
torg	Time origin
verbose	TRUE - clutter the screen.

Value

A "zoo" "field" object with additional attributes used for further processing.
