Hi, I'm trying to plot a field obtained from the atmospheric model WRF-NMM which uses a "Rotated Lat-Lon? map projection. The WRF documentation mentions that: ? Rotates the earth's lat/lon grid such that the intersection of the equator and prime meridian is at the center of the model domain. ? Within the rotated framework the grid spacing is constant, but in an earth-relative

Dear R-listers, Here, I would like to hearing helps from you. I have GPS data (multiple points in the geographic scale) in longitude/latitude. I intend to calculate distance (in kilometer) among such points and output the distance matrix in dist class. I have gotten some progress, but I still can not get final goal. Could please give me any directions/advice? This email cc. to Mr. Pierre, the

Hi, I'm trying to read a subset of a netcdf file into R, but although I'm relatively experienced using R, I'm still new to netCDF files, so this may be a very simple/stupid question! I've included an example of the type of file I'm looking at here. www.met.reading.ac.uk/~swp06hg/ccd1983_01-dk1_20.nc (~7Mb) It's a 2D array of the variable CCD along with its lat and

Dear R-helpers, I have lat/lon coordinates of regularly spaced grid points, about 4Km apart, covering the entire US continental region. I would like to mask this rectangular grid in order to extract all and only the grid points within a specific region. Today I want to extract Montana, say, from this grid, and I am hoping to somehow use the returned value of the function

Hi All, I have a netcdf gridded file with LCC projection. I can easily use image.plot to visualize it. However, as the axises are in X,Y, not Lat and Lon, I could not add state or country maps onto it (or lat lon information). I do have a grid2d file that describes the lat and lon for each (X,Y) grid, but the lat and lon are not regularly spaced, so I could not use image.plot. Does anyone know

Hello, I am trying to match lat/lon from one dataset with the lat/lon from a second dataset and use that rows data for calculations. I am using match, but this is finding the first match and not comparing the pair, how can I determine if the lat/lon are the same? See example below. Is there a better way to determine to a matching pair of lat/lon values? Example Datasets: > data2

Two questions: 1. Is the order of the dimensions shown what is shown if you look at str(ncin) - I mean shown at the end where it describes the variable and its dimensions? 2. Is you problem how to subset the netcdf file, how to write to the .csv file, or both? -Roy > On Aug 28, 2017, at 2:21 PM, Eeusha Nafi <eshad002 at gmail.com> wrote: > > I have a series of nertCDF files

I have a series of nertCDF files containing global data for a particular variable, e.g. tmin/tmax/precipiation/windspeed/relative humuidity/radiation etc. I get the following information when using *nc_open* function in R: datafile: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xpo7zklcmtm3g5r/gfdl_preci.nc?dl=0 File gfdl_preci.nc (NC_FORMAT_NETCDF4_CLASSIC): 1 variables (excluding dimension variables):

#################################################################################### We have used maptools to construct state, county, township, census-tract, and zipcode level R maps with an Albers Conical Equal Area projection.

Hello, I am trying to wrap my head around the coordinates systems associated with the layout() function ...with the end goal of simply drawing a decorative line in the upper margin of my figure, which is composed of three plots. My output is defined as this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- postscript("out.ps", horizontal=FALSE,

Hi Jim, Thanks. It works. I now have more complex problems. If at each blackcell, there are two variables such as pop and mood. For each variable, there are daily records in one year, so 365 records for pop and 365 records for mood. The averaged values for the redcells should be daily records too. What kind of format do you recommend for this problem? Right now, I just get the latitudes and

Hi lily, It's not too hard to do it using dataframes. Getting the indexing right is usually that hardest part: # these values are the centers of the black cells lat<-rep(28:38,11) lon<-rep(98:108,each=11) pop<-sample(80:200,121) # just use the data.frame function blackcells<-data.frame(lat=lat,lon=lon,pop=pop) plot(0,type="n",xlim=c(97.5,108.5),ylim=c(27.5,38.5),

Hi lily, You could also create "blackcells" as a dataframe (which is itself a type of list). I used a list as I thought it would be a more general solution if there were different numbers of values for different grid cells. The use of 1 for the comparison was due to the grid increments being 1. If you had larger or smaller grid increments, you would use the grid increment size for the

Hi lily, There are one or two assumptions to be made here. First is that the latitude and longitude values of the "black" cells are equally spaced as in your illustration. Second, that all latitude and longitude values for the "red" cells fall at the corners of four "black" cells. You can get the four "black" cells by finding the lat/lon values that are

I receive GPS readings in a text string such as "0121.6723S 03643.6893E" and need the coordinates as decimal degrees in two separate variables: "-1.361205" and "36.728155". How do I do this in R? mikkel

Hi R users, I have a question about data processing. I have such a dataset, while each black grid cell has a few attributes and the corresponding attribute values. The latitude and longitude of the center of each grid cell are given also. Then I want to average the attribute values from four adjacent grid cells to get the average value for the center of each red grid cell. Thus, there are the

Hello! I have a dataset with the dates and positions - Lat and Long columns How do I make a scatter plot? Do I have to cbind to combine the Lat and Long columns? Any suggestions will be much appreciated! Thank you Julia [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I've been searching for a method of converting Lat/Lon decimal coordinates into actual distances between points, and taking into account the curvature of the earth. Is there such a package in R? I've looked at the GeoR package, but this does not seem to contain what I am looking for. Ideally the output would be a triangular matrix of distances. Thanks in advance, Paul Brewin

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.
