[R-sig-Geo] HIRHAM netcdf file

[Michael Sumner]

You can use the ncdf (or RNetCDF) package to access all the dimensions
and variables directly from the file.

There is support for netcdf in the raster package, and optionally in
the rgdal package if you compile it. rasters depends on ncdf, and
rgdal on the GDAL driver implementation. Both have to perform the
minimum translation from the NetCDF data model to a GIS-raster-layer
one, and it does depend on details in the file quite a lot.

Cheers, Mike.
