open_ncdf

Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) files are widely used for
scientific data. Library-level access in R is provided through packages
'RNetCDF' and 'ncdf4'. Package 'ncdfCF' is built on top of 'RNetCDF' and
makes the data and its attributes available as a set of S4 classes that are
informed by the Climate and Forecasting Metadata Conventions. Access to the
data uses standard R subsetting operators and common function forms.

Easy Access to NetCDF Files with CF Metadata Conventions

open_ncdf function

<dl><dt>resource</dt>
<dd>The name of the NetCDF resource to open, either a local file
name or a remote URI.</dd>
<dt>keep_open</dt>
<dd>Logical flag to indicate if the NetCDF resource has to
remain open after reading the metadata. This should be enabled typically
only for programmatic access or when a remote resource has an expensive
access protocol (i.e. 2FA). The resource has to be explicitly closed with
<code><a href="/link/close()?package=ncdfCF&version=0.1.1" data-mini-rdoc="ncdfCF::close()">close()</a></code> after use. Note that when a dataset is opened with
<code>keep_open = TRUE</code> the resource may still be closed by the operating system
or the remote server.</dd></dl>
