Greetings R users! I am working with the ENSEMBLE climate data (10 min resolution daily temperatures images for all of Europe 1950-2006). The data comes packaged in a single netCDF file. I would like to read the data in and export a subset (2002-2006) as geotiffs (one image per day). So far, I can successfully read in the data and view the images within an R display window. However, I have yet to figure out how to export the images as tiffs or geotiffs. Does anyone out there have experience converting netCDF grids to TIFFs?
After reading the data into R, I have it stored in a dataframe with longitude values as the column names, latitude values as the row names, and temperatures as the actual values. Below is my code thus far that I adapted from an example on the UCAR website. Thanks in advance! -Dan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Set working directory and load library setwd('C:/Users/steinber/Documents/DATA/ENSEMBLES/') library(ncdf) library(rgdal) library(chron) library(fields) # Read netCDF file tg.ncdf = open.ncdf('tg_0.25deg_CRU_version1.0.nc') tg.ncdf lonmat = get.var.ncdf(nc=tg.ncdf,varid="longitude") # reads entire matrix latmat = get.var.ncdf(nc=tg.ncdf,varid="latitude") # ditto timearr = get.var.ncdf(nc=tg.ncdf,varid="time") # reads entire time array targettime = julian(x=1, d=1, y=2002, origin=c(month = 1, day = 1, year = 1950)) inds = (1:dim(timearr)) tind = inds[targettime == timearr] ndims = tg.ncdf$var[['data']]$ndims varsize = tg.ncdf$var[['data']]$varsize start = c( 1, 1, tind) count = c(varsize[1], varsize[2], 1) # Read in data slice: tg.data = get.var.ncdf(nc=tg.ncdf,varid="data",start,count) tg.data[tg.data == -9999] = NA tg.data = tg.data/100.0 x = 1:nrow(tg.data) # R plots rows along X axis! y = 1:ncol(tg.data) image.plot(x,y,tg.data,col=tim.colors()) test.data = data.frame(tg.data, row.names = lonmat) colnames(test.data) = latmat ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
