Use R to extract time series from netcdf data

问题

A newbie question related to R. How do I extract time series data for a particular location using R from an netdcf file. So for example, the following snapshot shows that the time series for location (1,2) is 13,28,43.

Thanks in advance.

This might do it, where "my.variable" is the name of the variable you are interested in:

library(survival)
library(RNetCDF)
library(ncdf)
library(date)

setwd("c:/users/mmiller21/Netcdf")

my.data <- open.nc("my.netCDF.file.nc");

my.time <- var.get.nc(my.data, "time")

n.latitudes  <- length(var.get.nc(my.data, "lat"))
n.longitudes <- length(var.get.nc(my.data, "lon"))

n.dates <- trunc(length(my.time))
n.dates

my.object <- var.get.nc(my.data, "my.variable")

my.array  <- array(my.object, dim = c(n.latitudes, n.longitudes, n.dates))
my.array[,,1:5]
my.vector <- my.array[1, 2, 1:n.dates]  # first latitude, second longitude
head(my.vector)

baseDate <- att.get.nc(my.data, "NC_GLOBAL", "base_date")
bdInt    <- as.integer(baseDate[1])

year     <- date.mdy(seq(mdy.date(1, 1, bdInt), by = 1,
                     length.out = length(my.vector)))$year 

head(year)

回答2:

your_data <- read.csv("")

#Subsetting your data
location12 <- subset(your_data, latitude == 1 & column2_value == 2)

Data_location12 <- table(location12)

timeseries12 <- ts(Data_location12)

This should work.
