write2ncdf4.pca: Saves climate data as netCDF.

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

Saves climate data as netCDF.

Description

Method to save 'pca' 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

## S3 method for class 'pca'
write2ncdf4(
  x,
  ...,
  file = "esd.pca.nc",
  prec = "short",
  verbose = FALSE,
  scale = 0.01,
  offset = 0,
  missval = -99
)

Arguments

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

Details

To save space, the values are saved as short (16-bit signed integer that can hold values between -32768 and 32767). (see NC_SHORT in https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/data_type.html).

Value

None
