Dear David, Thanks,
I could read and open .nc file in R, but now how to plot a simple filled color. Data and variables of .nc after reading in R are as below. Data have time steps of 99 (monthly mean data for 8 years). If I want to fill / plot co2 variable at time=1 then how to do it. Also, how can select lat lon over a particular region. For example, fill co2 [lat=0:40, lon=50:90, time=1] and then overplot a continental map. how to write this fill command in R, Thanks, Yogesh > library(ncdf) Warning message: package ncdf was built under R version 2.14.2 > file.nc=open.ncdf("AIRS_2002_10_added-all-years.nc") > print(file.nc) [1] "file AIRS_2002_10_added-all-years.nc has 3 dimensions:" [1] "time Size: 99" [1] "lat Size: 91" [1] "lon Size: 144" [1] "------------------------" [1] "file AIRS_2002_10_added-all-years.nc has 1 variables:" [1] "float co2[lon,lat,time] Longname:co2 Missval:1e+30" On Mon, Apr 2, 2012 at 9:20 PM, David William Pierce <dpie...@ucsd.edu>wrote: > On Mon, Apr 2, 2012 at 1:54 AM, Yogesh Tiwari <yogesh....@googlemail.com> > wrote: > > > How to read netcdf files in R ? > > Which packeges do we need to install for this, > > and what commands are used for reading netcdf files. > > Typical code would look something like this: > > library('ncdf'') > > filename <- 'data.nc' > varname <- 'Temperature' > > ncid <- open.ncdf( filename ) > data <- get.var.ncdf( ncid, varname ) > > If you need to see what variables the file contains to get the > variable names, just do a "print(ncid)" after you open it. > > If it is a very large file, too large for the data to fit in memory > all at once, you can step through and read each timestep in the file > separately using the "start=" and "count=" arguments to the > get.var.ncdf() call. > > Regards, > > --Dave > > -- > David W.
