Subject: Re: [R] problem writing .bil files in netcdf

Hi Michael,
I had a problem with my mac hopefully solve now.
For the issue i submitted, I tried your suggestion with writeRaster which
creates a netcdf file. The problem when I look the results by displaying as
graph I seen the
values starting by -9000 and mainly are located in the continent
boundaries, so how to add in write taste the undef values and have precip
from 0 to x.
For the loop if successful is toe write each day in a separate netcdf file,
if done it will be easy to concatenate using nco or cdo.
To convert each day in netcdf I need to have an appropriate loop in a
script. I have to process many years.
Cheers,

Hi,
You can read the single .bil and write it to NetCDF with raster (and the
rgdal and ncdf4) package:
library(raster)
r <- raster("/1981/v2p19810101.bil")
writeRaster(r, "v2p19810101.nc")
But, if you read in multi .bil files and build a multilayer raster, i.e.
st <- stack(list.files("/1981", pattern = "bil$", full.names = TRUE))
you *can* write it out to NetCDF, very similar to above with writeRaster,
but I think it will generate a variable (an netcdf array) for each layer.
To really write to .nc in a specific way you'll need to delve into the
standard tools in ncdf4, to create a file, create
variables/dimensions/attributes,
and then populate the variable, in this case probably one 3rd-level slice
for each .bil. That might be better done at the command line, say with nco
(the "nc operators"). There are copy-create idioms which is probably the
way to go if you have a template data file or CDF specification.
There may be some higher level tools in other packages on CRAN, check the
reverse depends/imports/suggests on CRAN for ncdf4. Also you should explore
RNetCDF which has an independent implementation.
(raster really blitzes the field in terms of high-level tools here, but it
has limits, with writing NetCDF *in specific ways* being one of them. GDAL
has similar limitations, since it sees the world in this
"array-as-2d-bands" way).
HTH, at least a little.
Cheers, Mike.
