I am in the process of converting from Matlab to R, but a major sticking
point for me at the moment is accessing data via OPeNDAP.

After several hours of searching, I found that other people have discussed
this functionality in the past, but it does not appear to have yet been
developed.  One programmer, Luke Miller, has managed a work-around by
downloading ascii data from an OPeNDAP site (
http://lukemiller.org/index.php/2011/02/accessing-noaa-tide-data-with-r/),
but direct access to the netcdf files would reduce data download
requirements greatly.

I'm sure this must be a common requirement, particularly among earth
scientists - perhaps they are all still using Matlab.  Does anyone have
have a solution?  Or maybe I am just not proficient enough at finding
solutions on the R-network...

Thanks in advance for your time,

Phil.
