Determine time selection means
The function determines the mean values for a pre-selected number of timesteps from data of a single CM SAF NetCDF input file.
timselmean( var, nts = 6, infile, outfile, nc34 = 4, overwrite = FALSE, verbose = FALSE )
var |
Name of NetCDF variable (character). |
nts |
Number of input timesteps for each output timestep |
infile |
Filename of input NetCDF file. This may include the directory (character). |
outfile |
Filename of output NetCDF file. This may include the directory (character). |
nc34 |
NetCDF version of output file. If |
overwrite |
logical; should existing output file be overwritten? |
verbose |
logical; if TRUE, progress messages are shown |
A NetCDF file including a time series of time selection means is written.
Other time range statistics:
