Hi all, I'm new to the netCDF file format, but I need to rapidly familiarize myself. In attempting to manipulate IOOS data (specifically, http://oos.soest.hawaii.edu/thredds/ncss/hioos/roms_assim/hiog/ROMS_Oahu_Regional_Ocean_Model_Assimilation_best.ncd/dataset.html ) in R, I've found that online resources are helpful only to a point, as netCDF files are variable- one snippet of code isn't very transferable.
Since I can't see the data in a netCDF file like I could in a table, I'm not sure how to best learn how to work with these files in R. I need to analyze years of data across a swath of area, so pulling one set of coordinates at a time is not efficient. Does anyone have advice on how to transform a netCDF file into a TIFF or csv? Or has anyone pulled IOOS data in the past? Thanks for your advice!
