Hi:
Russ Moffit of our Honolulu Lab has made a modification to the R
netcdf package 'ncdf' so that it can access remote netcdf files
using OPenDAP (http://www.opendap.org). The package works on Linux,
and with help from Don MacQueen was also ported to Macintosh OS X.
We have had a lot of demand for this to be ported to Windows also,
but it is beyond our capabilities. If there is anyone willing to try
and port this to Windows, I can provide existing code and get them
in touch with the people who did the Linux and Macintosh ports.
If someone is willing to give this a stab and get it to work - they
will surely be blessed many times over and go to heaven! Seriously,
we just had a course on the use of satellite data in Fisheries, and
there was a large demand for this.
TIA,
-Roy M.
