[R-sig-Geo] About R

[Thiago Veloso]

  Younas,

  Although I don't know what are the specific data you need to analyze or the tests you need to perform, some packages can certainly be recommended. "RnetCDF" and "raster" are great to import netCDF files. NCAR's "verification" package (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/verification/index.html) offers useful tools for analysing probabilistic or deterministic forecasts. Package "clim.pact" (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/clim.pact/index.html) might be useful as well.

  Hope it helps,

  Thiago.
