transNcdfMerge: Merge several netCDF files

Description

transNcdfMerge is a convenience wrapper around cdo to merge several netCDF files containing subsequent time steps into one continuous file.

Usage

transNcdfMerge(file.names, name.change = function(x) return(x),  time.diff = NULL, fun.start = NULL, fun.end = NULL, time.range.out = c(),  format = "%Y%m", convert = function(x) chron(paste(x, "15",  sep = ""), format = "ymd", out.format = "d-m-y"), path.target = getwd(),  target.name = "")

Arguments

file.names

character vector: names of the files to merge.

name.change

time.diff

maximum time difference to be allowed between two subsequent input files.

fun.start

function: function to retrieve the start date from the file name e.g. function(x) substr(x, nchar(x)-15, nchar(x)-10)

fun.end

see fun.start

time.range.out

POSIXct vector: (start date, end date): start and end dates of the final file. If not supplied, all available data are used.

format

character string: see ?transNcdfCutFile

convert

path.target

file path: path where to copy to the results files.

target.name
