nc2tif: Converts netCDF (nc) files to geotiff

Description

Conversion to .tif to simplify workflows if the data that has been downloaded is to be handled in other software (e.g. QGIS).

Usage

nc2tif(path = tempdir(), files = NULL, overwrite = FALSE, silent = FALSE)

Value

Converted geotiff files of all netCDF data in the provided directory (path).

Arguments

path

a character string showing the path to the directory containing Daymet .nc files (default = tempdir())

files

a character vector containing the name of one or more files to be converted (optional)

overwrite

a logical controlling whether all files will be written, or whether files will not be written in the event that there is already a .tif of that file. (default = NULL)

silent

limit verbose output (default = FALSE)

Examples

if (FALSE) {

 # The below command converts all netCDF data in
 # the provided path to geotiff files. Existing
 # files will be overwritten. If set to FALSE,
 # files will not be overwritten.
 
 # download the data
 download_daymet_ncss(param = "tmin",
                      frequency = "annual",
                      path = tempdir(),
                      silent = TRUE)
 
 # convert files from nc to tif
 nc2tif(path = tempdir(),
 overwrite = TRUE)
 
 # print converted files
 print(list.files(tempdir(), "*.tif"))
