How to take a subset from a netCDF file using latitude/longitude boundaries in R
I have a netCDF file that I wish to extract a subset from defined by latitude/longitude boundaries (i.e. a lat/long defined box), using the ‘ncdf’ package in R. A summary of my netCDF file is below. It has two dimensions (latitude and longitude) and 1 variable (10U_GDS4_SFC). It is essentially a lat/long grid containing wind values: [1] "file example.nc has 2 dimensions:" [1] "lat_0 Size: 1280" [1] "lon_1 Size: 2560" [1] "------------------------" [1] "file example.nc has 1 variables:" [1] "float 10U_GDS4_SFC[lon_1,lat_0] Longname:10 metre U wind component Missval:1e+30" The latitude variable
