Get Latitudes, Longitudes, & Depths From NEMO-MEDUSA Model Outputs

get_spatial.Rd

This function gets the latitudes, longitudes, and depths which define the spatial location of points in an array of NEMO-MEDUSA outputs.

Usage

get_spatial(file, grid_W = F)

Arguments

file

The full name of a netcdf file.

grid_W

Is the file a grid_W file, TRUE or FALSE. Needed as the depth variable is unique to this file type.

Value

A list of three elements:

  • nc_lat - A matrix of latitudes which maps onto the first and second dimension of a NEMO-MEDUSA array.

  • nc_lon - A matrix of longitudes which maps onto the first and second dimension of a NEMO-MEDUSA array.

  • nc_depth - A vector of depths which match the third dimension of a NEMO-MEDUSA array.

Details

Each variable of interest in the netcdf file is imported, and then collected into a list. A T/F switch is included for when the file is a grid_W type as the depth levels are different and stored differently.
