ncdf {ncdf} | R Documentation |
Read from or write to existing netCDF format files, or create new ones.
The netCDF data file format from Unidata is a platform-independent, binary file that also contains metadata describing the contents and format of the data in the file. NetCDF files contain one or more variables, which are structured as regular N-dimensional arrays. They also contain dimensions, which describe the extent of the variables' arrays. Data can be read from or written to variables in arbitrary hyperslabs. The R package 'ncdf' allows reading from, writing to, and creation of netCDF files. Note that the netCDF library must already be installed on your machine for this R interface to the library to work.
This package ("ncdf") is not compatible with the "netCDF" package by Thomas Lumley. On the other had, it implements considerably more functionality than the "netCDF" package, including creating and writing to netCDF files instead of simply reading from them.
