[R-sig-Geo] Gridding a daily time series in R

[Sarah Goslee]

Hi,

Creating the NetCDF file is easy - there are multiple packages to do that.

Everything else you ask about is hard, and not really R questions.

You need to know:

What is the best way to impute missing precipitation data to fit my needs?

What is the best way to grid point-based precipitation data to fit my needs?

Both of these are very complex, and questions better suited to experts
in the field. At the very least, you need to review the copious
existing statistical literature on those topics. Once you have the
theoretical questions answered, the question of "How do I do this in
R?" might be suitable for the list.

But honestly, you are probably better off finding extant gridded data
for your region, rather than trying to do it yourself.
