<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m using the R environment to read and manipulate the

http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/cfs/prod/cfs/cfs.20170808/06/time_grib_01/</a>). I’ve tried to read them with the readGDAL function of the rgdal package. However, when I read them all the data is null because I don’t have the JPEG2000 driver.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So I decided to use the rNOMADS package. The problem is I cannot read directly the grb file I downloaded; I can only read those downloaded from specific links (extracted using NOMADSArchiveList() or NOMADSRealTimeList()
 functions), which are in 6hrly_grib format (not very convenient for my purposes…).
