Overview

About

Maintained by Kathe Todd-Brown3 releasesCRAN page ↗

Working with CMIP5 data can be tricky, forcing scientists to write custom scripts and programs. The `RCMIP5` package aims to ease this process, providing a standard, robust, and high-performance set of scripts to (i) explore what data have been downloaded, (ii) identify missing data, (iii) average (or apply other mathematical operations) across experimental ensembles, (iv) produce both temporal and spatial statistical summaries, and (v) produce easy-to-work-with graphical and data summaries.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/RCMIP5/RCMIP5_1.2.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "RCMIP5_1.2.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.2.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
