Extracts data from netcdf file and returns a data.frame.

Usage

GetVarNCDF(ncfile, varname, finddim, convert_date = TRUE)

Arguments

ncfile	filename of the netcdf file.
varname	name of the variable to extract.
finddim	vector of dimension variables, e.g, c('time','lat','lev'). For dimensionless variables, e.g, global mean values, and empty vector or NULL should be used.
convert_date	Convert time information into Date/Datetime object. Defaults to TRUE. This parameter is only used, when a date/time variable is found.

Value

A data frame containing at least a single column (value) for the variable value(s) and possible additional columns for each dimension variable.

Examples

     
     ncfile <- system.file("extdata", "example_tll.nc", package = "smumisc")
     d <- GetVarNCDF(ncfile, 'slp', c('lon','lat','time'))
