Just wanted to update this thread in case anyone else comes looking. Some
of these things were not immediately clear to me.
I ended up doing:
library(raster)
library(ncdf4)
fn=list.files('serverpath')
fnstack=stack(fn)
layerdates=names(fnstack)
#instead of writeRaster, use ncdf4 directly to get
Ok - Looks like it worked this time for 112 files from 2012. The netcdf is
2.25 GB while the compressed multiband geotiff is 510MB. Does the netcdf
have so much overhead- the 112 file at 10MB each are only 1.12 GB
individually?
I like the tidiness of 1 file per year so I'll have to play with how
Hi Michael -
Yes saving as GTiff with the compression options reduced the file size from
~10MB to ~2.5M for a single file but I am having a lot of trouble getting it
to save the whole stack. I'm definitely running out of memory on my computer
so maybe R is being slow and timing out? I've left it
Hi -
I have some data on a server but would like to bring them local in a
somewhat compressed format that is still easy to access.
/Volumes/hD/2012 - 100 geotiffs
~/project/data/ - store those geotiffs here without needing server access.
untested, I think I could do something like:
s=stack()
Wouldn't that keep the link to the server on which they are stored now?

Why not stack(fn)

I think you are correct.
s=stack(fn,quick=T)
writeRaster(s,'localpath/2012data')
Ugh, sorry yes that's me reading too fast. I should have suggested the next
step to writeRaster, I'm not sure why you
