files

a character vector containing the name of one or more files to be converted (optional)

Value

Converted geotiff files of all netCDF data in the provided directory (path).

 # The below command converts all netCDF data in
 # the provided path to geotiff files. Existing
 # files will be overwritten. If set to FALSE,
 # files will not be overwritten.
 
 # download the data
 download_daymet_ncss(param = "tmin",
                      frequency = "annual",
                      path = tempdir(),
                      silent = TRUE)
 
 # convert files from nc to tif
 nc2tif(path = tempdir(),
 overwrite = TRUE)
 
 # print converted files
 print(list.files(tempdir(), "*.tif"))
