There is the possibility to work with a given folder structure (CMSAF-R-TOOLBOX).
This function is only for internal use within other cmsaf-package functions.
To use this option the variable 'ptt' (path to toolbox) has to be defined.
The CM SAF R TOOLBOX consists of the 'cmsaf' R-package and a set of R-scripts, 
which are helpful to work with CM SAF NetCDF data. There are R-scripts, which 
can be used to analyse and plot CM SAF NetCDF data. The TOOLBOX includes also
R-scripts, which help unexperienced R-users to apply the functions of the cmsaf
R-package. The CM SAF R TOOLBOX is freely available on request and in the near 
future via the CM SAF homepage (&lt;http://www.cmsaf.eu&gt;).

The Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM SAF)
is a ground segment of the European Organization for the Exploitation of
Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) and one of EUMETSATs Satellite Application
Facilities. The CM SAF contributes to the sustainable observing of the climate
system by providing essential climate variables related to the energy and water
cycle of the atmosphere (<http://www.cmsaf.eu>). It is a joint cooperation of seven
National Meteorological and Hydrological Services.
The 'cmsaf' R-package provides a collection of R-operators for the analysis and
manipulation of CM SAF NetCDF formatted data. The 'cmsaf' R-package is tested
for CM SAF NetCDF data, which are structured in three-dimensional arrays
(longitude, latitude, time) on a rectangular grid. Layered CM SAF data have to
be converted with the provided levbox_mergetime() function. The 'cmsaf' R-package
operators have only minor checks for deviations from the recommended data structure,
and give only few specific error messages.
Scripts for an easy application of the 'cmsaf' package operators and the preparation
and visualization of CM SAF NetCDF data are provided at the CM SAF webpage
(<http://www.cmsaf.eu/EN/Products/Tools/Tools_node.html>).
