createStdNcdfFile: Create an empty netCDF file with standardized attributes and dimensions

Description

This function writes an empty netCDF file with variable names, dimensions and attributes formatted in a standardized way.

Usage

createStdNcdfFile(var.names, file.name = c(), units = "[]", lat.values = c(), long.values = c(), time.values = c(), add.dims = list(), lat.length = length(lat.values), long.length = length(long.values), time.length = length(time.values), year.start.end = c(), scale_factor = 1, add_offset = 0, type.var = "NC_DOUBLE", missing_value = -9999, con.atts = c(), data = c())

Arguments

var.names
character string: name of the target variable in the file
file.name
character string: name of the file. If not given, this is determined automatically in a standardized way from the variable name and the dimension extends.
units
character string: units of variable (should be compatible with udunits)
lat.values
numeric values: coordinate values for the latitude positions.
long.values
numeric values: coordinate values for the latitude positions.
time.values
POSIXct vector: time values for the time dimension
add.dims
lat.length
integer: length of the latitude dimension
long.length
integer: length of the longitude dimension
time.length
integer: length of the time dimension
year.start.end
integer vector (length two): start and end year. If not given, this is determined from the time vector.
scale_factor
numeric: scale factor
add_offset
numeric: offset
type.var
character string: type of the data
missing_value
numeric: missing data value
con.atts
RNetCDF file connection: Possible file to use as source for copying attributes to the new file.
