R help - Sep 2007 - how to sub-sample a variable on another file coordinates

Hello 'R' Users,

I have a monthly mean CO2 necdf data file defined on 1x1 lat by lon
coordinate. I want to sub-sample this variable CO2 on the coordinates
of another ASCII data file. The coordinates of another ASCII data file are
as:

   -24.01 152.06 -18.58 150.19 -13.46 148.35 -8.29 147.03 -3.14 146.19 1.53
145.59 7.08 145.33 12.25 145.02 17.46 144.31 22.44 142.35 27.53 141.26 33.04
140.15 -23.49 152.07 -18.56 150.18 -13.41 150.14 -8.24 150.04 -3.07 149.21
2.05 148.31 7.19 147.45 12.37 147.03 17.53 146.21 22.56 144.47 28.04 143.38
32.54 142.26

Kindly anybody can help on this.

Many thanks,

Cheers,
Yogesh

Dear Yogesh,

This question seems more appropriate for the r-sig-geo mailing list 
(https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo).

The sampling of the netcdf files can be done by using the overlay 
function from the sp-package (available on CRAN). You would have to read 
both the netcdf file and the ASCII file into the spatial classes 
presented by sp (SpatialGrid for the CO2 data (I assume that it is a 
grid) and SpatialPoints for the ASCII data). This could be done using 
the rgdal-package.

good luck!

Paul
