Goodmorning to everyone, I'm new so sorry for bad english and formulation.
I go to the point: I am using since months the retrieve.nc function from clim.pact to extract data from netcdf files. I always had no problem, but some days ago I updated both R and the package to the latest versione (don't ask me what was the previous R version, cause I don't remember). However, now i am in serious trouble. When i try opening the netcdf file, i use a<-retrieve.nc(filename="/Users/P4blo/Desktop/DATA/Raw/Z500/Z500-1979-2010.nc",v.nam="hgt",t.rng=c(1,31)) just as was doing in the past. but know, i obtain not more a 3D matrix but a 4D one! [1] "ordinary" [1] "Attribute time_origin not found" [1] "The chronology is not straight forward: dt= 24 interval span= 275376 data points= 11475" [1] "ncid$dim$'time$units'" [1] "Time, units: hours since 1-1-1 00:00:0.0" [1] "torg= 1-1-1 00:00:0.0" [1] "Time origin: (year-month-day) 1 - 1 - 1" [1] "Time unit: hours" [1] "Latitudes: 0 - 90 degrees_north" [1] "Longitudes: 0 - 357.5 degrees_east" [1] "Reading hgt" [1] "read the data from EASTERN hemisphere" start count varsize [1,] 1 144 144 [2,] 1 37 37 [3,] 1 1 1 [4,] 1 31 11475 [1] "dim dat:" [1] 31 1 37 144 [1] 144 0 37 1 31 [1] 0.0 357.5 [1] 144 37 1 31 [1] "4D:" [1] 31 1 37 144 [1] "Sort longs and lats" [1] "First & last records: 1979 1 1 & 1979 1 31" [1] "BEFORE scale adjustment & weeding" Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 4684 5172 5491 5473 5818 5911 [1] "AFTER scale adjustment & weeding" [1] "Scaling: dat <- dat * 1" [1] "Offset: dat <- dat + 32066" Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 36750 37240 37560 37540 37880 37980 [1] "dimensions 31 1 37 144" but it is not over: the biggest problem is that if i try to plot the matrix, i obtain a complete a completely fuzzy field, because i suppose that somewhere the reading of the file was gone bad. for instance, i use image.plot(a$dat[1,1,,]) has anyone a similar problem? thank you to everyone who will answer me.
