I am trying to create a NetCDF file with bathymetry (a matrix) and then to add a grid type (an integer) as variables. This is the relevant part of the code:
library(ncdf) wfile="my_file.nc" msv=-10 grdtp=2 # Dimensions d1=dim.def.ncdf("lon","degrees",as.double(lon)) d2=dim.def.ncdf("lat","degrees",as.double(lat)) # Variables bathymetry=var.def.ncdf("bathymetry","m",list(d1,d2),msv,longname="Bathymetry") ncw=create.ncdf(writefile,list(bathymetry,loncp,latcp,dlonp,dlatp)) put.var.ncdf(ncw,bathymetry,bat_matrix) close.ncdf(ncw) # Here I am trying to add another variable which should have a value of grdtp ncw_old=open.ncdf(wfile,write=TRUE) d3=dim.def.ncdf("grid_type",'',1:1,create_dimvar=FALSE) grid_t=var.def.ncdf("grid_type","type",d3,1.e30,longname="Grid Type") ncw_new=var.add.ncdf(ncw_old,grid_t) Here I stop because R gives an error message: Error in var.add.ncdf(ncw_old, grid_t) : Error in create.ncdf, defining var! Any ideas of what am I doing wrong? Thank you!
