CST_Start {CSTools}R Documentation

CSTools data retrieval function using Start

Description

This function aggregates, subsets and retrieves sub-seasonal, seasonal, decadal or climate projection data from NetCDF files in a local file system and arranges it for easy application of the CSTools functions. It calls the function Start from startR, which is an R package started at BSC with the aim to develop a tool that allows the user to automatically process large multidimensional distributed data sets. Then, the output is transformed into 's2dv_cube' object.

Usage

CST_Start(...)

Arguments

...

Parameters that are automatically forwarded to the 'startR::Start' function. See details in '?startR::Start'.

Details

It receives any number of parameters ('...') that are automatically forwarded to the 'startR::Start' function. See details in '?startR::Start'. The auxiliary functions used to define dimensions need to be called within the startR namespace (e.g. startR::indices(), startR::values(), startR::Sort(), startR::CircularSort(), startR::CDORemapper(), ...).
