checkNcdfFile: check netCDF file for consistency with CF/COARDS/BGI netCDF...

In ncdf.tools: Easier 'NetCDF' File Handling

Description

This function checks whether a netCDF file is consistent with the parts of the COARDS/CF netCDF conventions used in the BGI department (MPI for Biogeochemistry, Jena, Germany).

Usage

checkNcdfFile(file.name, dims = c("longitude", "latitude", "time"), 
    type = "strict", var.check = "single")

Arguments

file.name	character string: file name to check
dims	vector of strings: names of the dimensions which need to be in the file.
type	character string: if 'strict', then all aspects are checked. If this is any other value, only aspects relevant for the processing of decomp.ncdf are checked.
var.check	character string: If 'single', then readNcdfVarName is used to infer the name of the variable in the target file which will then be checked,

Value

logical: (invisible) whether the file passed the check
