gribr: GRIB interface for R using the ECMWF ecCodes
Description
The gribr package provides a simple interface between R and GRIB 1/2 files.
The package is designed so that data is kept in R's intuitive data structures
and can be easily projected using your preferred plotting package.
Notice
This package depends on installing the ECMWF library called
ecCodes.
It is important to install the requisite libraries
(e.g., jasper/openjpeg for GRIB2) prior to building ecCodes to ensure
full functionality.
gribr Functions
The main functions that will be used in this package are those that can
easily display the contents of a GRIB file (grib_list), those that import
messages into R (grib_get_message, grib_select) and those that extract the
projection information from the GRIB message (grib_proj4str). All other
functions are essentially helper functions to aid in scripting with the
main tools.
Extensions
gribr was designed to be simple and extensible. Because
of the use of the ecCodes, this is possible. Using this package as a
template of sort, one could create new functions that work to expand on the
current capabilities. The
ecCodes
examples are good place to see the basic implementations in C. Beyond
that, this package is hosted on
GitHub where you will not only
find the source for this package, but will be able to submit any of your
own developments for inclusion in future releases.
