You might try posting on r-sig-geo if you don't get a satisfactory response here. I assume there's a lot of expertise there on handling raster-type data.

[R] Problem with converting grib file to excel
I have corresponded with Javad off-line, posting this as a follow-up, to close the issue. There are two separate questions here. The first is why did the posted code below fail. The second is there an easy way to read in the values, given the oddities of his file (more on that), and yes it turns out "terra" performs much better than "raster". First a little about GRIB files in general, and this file in particular. GRIB files were design to store grids in files with very small footprints, usually from model output. GRIB files have the characteristic that if I "cat" a bunch of GRIB files, I still have a valid GRIB file. So a given GRIB file often contains multiple parameters, and each of those through time. To translate into terms used by R spatial packages, each variable grid, at each time period will be seen as a "band" or a "layer" in the dataset. Thus if I have 3 parameters, say temperature, dew point and cloud cover at 8670 time periods, R spatial packages will see 3*8670 layers or bands. However this GRIB file is clearly not a raw GRIB file made by a data provider, but rather an extract made with some tool. In this file there are 3 underlying time series. temperature, dew point and cloud cover, each of dimension (1, 1, 8670), that is because it is defined at one spatial point only. So why did the code below fail? raster::stack() read the file just fine, and the layer_names are correct, all 3*8670 of them. The next steps:>> # Extract layers based on layer names - adjust as necessary >> t2m <- raster_data[[grep("t2m", layer_names)]] >> d2m <- raster_data[[grep("d2m", layer_names)]] >> tcc <- raster_data[[grep("tcc", layer_names)]] >> valid_time <- raster_data[[grep("valid_time", layer_names)]] >> t2mwhich are aimed at subsetting the raster stack based on the variable name all fail because ""t2m" , "d2m" and "tcc" are not in the layer_names. So then of course everything else fails. So the next question is how to read the file and get a data frame. A first pass would be: raster_stack <- raster::stack("Met.grib") raster_data <- raster::getValues(raster_stack). but you do not want to do that. For whatever reason, the raster_stack created above is enormous, and the raster::getValues() takes forever, I aborted after about an hour. However, if you use 'terra" instead: raster_stack <-terra::rast("Met.grib") raster_data <-terra::values(raster_stack). it finishes in a flash. raster_data is now one long array that needs to be reshaped: raster_data <- array(raster_data, dim = c(3, 8670) now raster_data[1, ] contains the temperature series, raster_data[2, ] contains the dew point data, and raster_data[3, ] contains the cloud cover data. HTH, -Roy PS - GRIB files can be a bear. The best GRIB readers in R are just front ends for either eccodes or wgrib2, and while they work very well, installation for eccodes and wgrib2 can be non-trivial, so I didn't want to use them as a solution. Also for quick viewing of GRIB files there is NASA's Panoply (https://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/panoply/) but that requires a Java installation.> On Sep 23, 2024, at 11:31 PM, javad bayat <j.bayat194 at gmail.com> wrote: > > Dear R users; > I have downloaded a grib file format (Met.grib) and I want to export its > data to excel file.
