modifyNcdfAddDim: Add a new dimension to one or more variables in a netCDF file

In ncdf.tools: Easier 'NetCDF' File Handling

Description

Adds another dimension to specified variables in a netCDF file and saves the results in another netCDF file.

Usage

modifyNcdfAddDim(file.con.orig, file.con.copy, var.name = "Default", 
    dim.name = "new.dim", dim.values = c(), dim.length = length(dim.values), 
    dim.pos.copy = 1)

Arguments

file.con.orig	a NetCDF object pointing to the respective netCDF file FROM which to copy
file.con.copy	a NetCDF object pointing to the respective netCDF file TO which to copy
var.name	character vector: names of the variables to which a dimension should be added. Defaults to all except those with identical names as dimensions in file.con.orig (coordinate variables)
dim.name	character string: name of the dimension to add
dim.values	numeric/character vector with the values for the dimension (coordinate values)
dim.length	integer: length of the dimension to add
dim.pos.copy	integer: position in the new dimension where to copy the original data. If set to 0, no values are copied and the variable in the new file will be empty. Setting to 1 (default) results in the original values to be filled in the first value of the new dimension and the remaining values left empty (NaN).
