Spatiotemporal Arrays, Raster and Vector Data Cubes

Reading, manipulating, writing and plotting spatiotemporal arrays (raster and vector data cubes) in 'R', using 'GDAL' bindings provided by 'sf', and 'NetCDF' bindings by 'ncmeta' and 'RNetCDF'.

Tools for Various R Functions Helpers

Contains miscellaneous functions useful for managing 'NetCDF' files (see < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetCDF>), get moon phase and time for sun rise and fall, tide level, analyse and reconstruct periodic time series of temperature with irregular sinusoidal pattern, show scales and wind rose in plot with change of color of text, Metropolis-Hastings algorithm for Bayesian MCMC analysis, plot graphs or boxplot with error bars, search files in disk by there names or their content, read the contents of all files from a folder at one time.

A Plotting Toolbox for 2D Oceanographic Data

Plotting toolbox for 2D oceanographic data (satellite data, sea surface temperature, chlorophyll, ocean fronts & bathymetry). Recognized classes and formats include netcdf, Raster, '.nc' and '.gz' files.

Quantize Floating-Point Numbers for Improved Compressibility

Provides a implementation of floating-point quantization algorithms for use in precision-preserving compression, similar to the approach taken in the 'netCDF operators' (NCO) software package and described in Zender (2016) .

Earth Observation Data Cubes from Satellite Image Collections

Processing collections of Earth observation images as on-demand multispectral, multitemporal raster data cubes. Users define cubes by spatiotemporal extent, resolution, and spatial reference system and let 'gdalcubes' automatically apply cropping, reprojection, and resampling using the 'Geospatial Data Abstraction Library' ('GDAL'). Implemented functions on data cubes include reduction over space and time, applying arithmetic expressions on pixel band values, moving window aggregates over time, filtering by space, time, bands, and predicates on pixel values, exporting data cubes as 'netCDF' or 'GeoTIFF' files, plotting, and extraction from spatial and or spatiotemporal features. All computational parts are implemented in C++, linking to the 'GDAL', 'netCDF', 'CURL', and 'SQLite' libraries. See Appel and Pebesma (2019) for further details.

Preprocessing and Multivariate Analysis of Bidimensional Gas Chromatography Data

Toolbox for chemometrics analysis of bidimensional gas chromatography data. This package import data for common scientific data format (NetCDF) and fold it to 2D chromatogram. Then, it can perform preprocessing and multivariate analysis. In the preprocessing algorithms, baseline correction, smoothing, and peak alignment are available. While in multivariate analysis, multiway principal component analysis is incorporated.

Simulating Climate Data for Research and Modelling

Generate synthetic station-based monthly climate time-series including temperature and rainfall, export to Network Common Data Form (NetCDF), and provide visualization helpers for climate workflows. The approach is inspired by statistical weather generator concepts described in Wilks (1992) and Richardson (1981) .

Explore Our Planet's Oceans with NOAA

Provides tools for easy exploration of the world ocean atlas of the US agency National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It includes functions to extract NetCDF data from the repository and code to visualize several physical and chemical parameters of the ocean. A Shiny app further allows interactive exploration of the data. The methods for data collecting and quality checks are described in several papers, which can be found here: < https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/world-ocean-atlas>.

Wegener Center Climate Uncertainty Explorer

Methods to calculate and interpret climate change signals and time series from climate multi-model ensembles. Climate model output in binary 'NetCDF' format is read in and aggregated over a specified region to a data.frame for statistical analysis. Global Circulation Models, as the 'CMIP5' simulations, can be read in the same way as Regional Climate Models, as e.g. the 'CORDEX' or 'ENSEMBLES' simulations. The package has been developed at the 'Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change' at the University of Graz, Austria.

Visualisation and Analysis of Ocean Data Derived from Satellites

With 'satin' functions, visualisation, data extraction and further analysis like producing climatologies from several images, and anomalies of satellite derived ocean data can be easily done. Reading functions can import a user defined geographical extent of data stored in netCDF files. Currently supported ocean data sources include NASA's Oceancolor web page < https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/>, sensors VIIRS-SNPP; MODIS-Terra; MODIS-Aqua; and SeaWiFS. Available variables from this source includes chlorophyll concentration, sea surface temperature (SST), and several others. Data sources specific for SST that can be imported too includes Pathfinder AVHRR < https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/avhrr-pathfinder-sst> and GHRSST < https://www.ghrsst.org/>. In addition, ocean productivity data produced by Oregon State University can also be handled previous conversion from HDF4 to HDF5 format. Many other ocean variables can be processed by importing netCDF data files from two European Union's Copernicus Marine Service databases < https://marine.copernicus.eu/>, namely Global Ocean Physical Reanalysis and Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Hindcast.
