Read a compressed amsr file, generating an object that inherits from
amsr-class. Note that only compressed files are read in
this version.
read.amsr(file, debug = getOption("oceDebug"))String indicating the name of a compressed file. See “File sources”.
A debugging flag, integer.
AMSR files are provided at the FTP site
ftp://ftp.ssmi.com/amsr2/bmaps_v07.2/ and login as "guest",
enter a year-based directory (e.g. y2016 for the year 2016),
then enter a month-based directory (e.g. m08 for August, the 8th
month), and then download a file for the present date, e.g.
f34_20160803v7.2.gz for August 3rd, 2016. Do not uncompress
this file, since read.amsr can only read uncompressed files.
If read.amsr reports an error on the number of chunks, try
downloading a similarly-named file (e.g. in the present example,
read.amsr("f34_20160803v7.2_d3d.gz") will report an error
about inability to read a 6-chunk file, but
read.amsr("f34_20160803v7.2.gz") will work properly.
plot,amsr-method for an example.
