[R] Reading nc files

[Magdalena Lucini]

Dear all,

I have to open and read several netCDF (.nc) files. I installed the
ncdf package and everything works fine.

The problem is that I also have several netCDF files that are also
ziped. These files are in the form,:

nc_file.gz

I tried different ways (within R) to unzip and read them, but they did not work.

I'll appreciate any suggestion on how to do that.

Thanks,

Magdalena Lucini
