Overview

About

Maintained by ORPHANED3 releasesCRAN page ↗

This package provides a high-level R interface to Unidata's NetCDF data files. Using this package netCDF datasets, and all their associated metadata, can be read and written in one go. It is also easy to create datasets including lots of metadata. This package supports both the CF and default NetCDF metadata conventions. This package supports more general NetCDF files and conventions than the ncdf package by David Pierce. It requires the low-level NetCDF package RNetCDF by Pavel Michna.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ncvar/ncvar_1.0-4.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "ncvar_1.0-4.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 (1.0-4) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
