readDWD.raster {rdwd}

read dwd gridded raster data

Description

Read gridded raster data. Intended to be called via readDWD().
Note that R.utils must be installed to unzip the .asc.gz files.

Usage

readDWD.raster(file, gargs = NULL, dividebyten, quiet = rdwdquiet(), ...)

Arguments

file

Name of file on harddrive, like e.g. DWDdata/grids_germany/seasonal/air_temperature_mean/ 16_DJF_grids_germany_seasonal_air_temp_mean_188216.asc.gz

gargs

Named list of arguments passed to R.utils::gunzip(). The internal defaults are: remove=FALSE (recommended to keep this so file does not get deleted) and skip=TRUE (which reads previously unzipped files as is). If file has changed, use gargs=list(temporary=TRUE). The gunzip default destname means that the unzipped file is stored at the same path as file. DEFAULT gargs: NULL

dividebyten

Logical: Divide the numerical values by 10? See readDWD. DEFAULT: TRUE

quiet

Ignored. DEFAULT: FALSE through rdwdquiet()

...

Further arguments passed to terra::rast()

Value

terra::rast object
