Convert MET Nordic Files to CWatM Meteo Input

This function converts a projected MET Nordic file (from metnordic_reproject()) to be compatible with CWatm. This function mainly just changes the dimension names from easting and northing to x and y and swaps variable order but has a crap load of boiler plate because... well.. ncdf4. Supported variables are: tmax, tmin, prec, RH, shortwave downwelling, air pressure, wind speed

Usage

cwatm_convert_nc(
  infile,
  outfile,
  altitude = NULL,
  temperature = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

infile: String: path to projected MET Nordic .nc file as created by metnordic_reproject()
outfile: String: path and file name to desired output file
altitude: Only needed for converting to surface pressure. Path to file which contains altitude for the grid (.nc, ie as downloaded by metnordic_download())
temperature: Only needed for converting to surface pressure. Path to file which contains temperature data for a data cube of the same dimension.
verbose: Logical: print to console?

Value

Path to outfile
