R help - Oct 2014 - Opening netCDF file with large number of variables but size is small in R

Dear all,

  I am trying to open a netcdf file with size 1.2 MB contains more than
3000 variables using 'netcdf' package.

 I am facing problem that it taking more than  10 minute to open this small
nc file.

Is any way to make it fast ?

 I have attached one sample nc-file along with this mail.


 Thank you all in advance.

Dileepkumar,

Which function are you using to open the netcdf file?

Without a sample of your data it is not possible to reproduce your issue.
However, opening a netcdf file should be straightforward with 'raster'
(from raster package) or 'nc.open' (from ncdf4 package).

This is really a question for a package maintainer, but you don't say which
package. Potentially ncdf4 may be slow with that many vars, try the open
with

suppress_dimvals=TRUE

as an outrageously optimistic guess if that package is the one you use. We
need more details from you, as per the posting guide.

Cheers, Mike

Have you tried the ncdf4 package ?
You can find a comparison of these package here:
