[Rnomads-user] bug fixes / feature requests for new rNOMADS version?

[Bowman, Daniel]

Hi Ruben,


Thanks for the suggestion, and sorry for the late reply.  I'd be happy to change the order except that I do not used named arguments in my paper.  So, if I were to change the order, it would break my examples!


I'm very interested in seeing your version of ReadGrib, are you willing to have it added to rNOMADS?  I'd add you as a contributor to the package.


Best,

Danny

Not a bug but a suggestion. It would be nice to set up the ReadGrib function to get passed variables, then levels. I know we can explicitly define them and then use whatever order we like but I see that in the function we execute commands using variables then levels. Why not by default pass them to the function in the same way? Surprisingly, the order of string construction using -match is fairly important and it needs variables then levels.

FYI: I am doing some major adding to the ReadGrib function to let me use gridded variables and multiple time horizons for the NARRE data that isn't currently possible. Also, I found a neat function in wgrib2 to generate a regular grid for the NARRE data (to answer a previous q I posted to the list). You probably are just as well off doing this using an r mapping function however.

Hello all,


I'm hoping to release a new version of rNOMADS soon, and I'd like to know if there are any outstanding issues or feature requests that you'd like to see.  Currently there are some problems involving making profiles, and I'll be addressing those.


Best,
