Title: Interface to Unidata netCDF (version 4 or earlier) format data
files
Author: David Pierce <dpierce@ucsd.edu>
Maintainer: David Pierce <dpierce@ucsd.edu>
Description: This package provides a high-level R interface to
data files written using Unidata's
netCDF library (version 4 or earlier), which are binary data files that are portable
across platforms and include metadata information in addition to the data sets.
Using this package, netCDF files (either version 4
or "classic" version 3) can be opened and data sets read in easily.
It is also easy to create new netCDF dimensions, variables, and files,
in either version 3 or 4 format, and manipulate existing netCDF files.
This package replaces the former ncdf package, which only worked with
netcdf version 3 files.  For various reasons the names of the functions
have had to be changed from the names in the ncdf package.  The old ncdf package is still
available at the URL given below, if you need to have backward compatibility.
It should be possible to have both the ncdf and ncdf4 packages installed
simultaneously without a problem.
However, the ncdf package does not provide an interface for netcdf version 4 files.
