Hi Nicolas, You will find in that page, below Data structure section, a link to 'software'. There you will find a package 'CRU2nc.tgz' which converts your ASCII data to 'netCDF' format. Then you can use any of the netCDF libraries available in R: ncdf,ncvar, RNetCDF, and the old netCDF. I've found, at least for me, before to enter the data in R, to manipulate them with Ferret (http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/) (subsetting regions and time intervals, etc.) Hope this helps, Antonio > > Cheers, > > Nicolas Degallier > > UMR 7159 / IRD UR182 > Laboratoire d'Océanographie et du Climat, Expérimentation et > Approches Numériques (LOCEAN) > Tour 45-55, 4e ét., case 100, 4 place Jussieu > 75252 Paris Cedex 5 France > > tél: (33) 01 44 27 51 57 > fax: (33) 01 44 27 38 05 > E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Publications (anonymous ftp): > > ftp://ftp.lodyc.jussieu.fr/LOCEAN/ndelod > > _______________________________________________ > R-sig-Geo mailing list > R-sig-Geo@stat.math.ethz.ch > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo > -- ===== Por favor, si me mandas correos con copia a varias personas, pon mi dirección de correo en copia oculta (CCO), para evitar que acabe en montones de sitios, eliminando mi privacidad, favoreciendo la propagación de virus y la proliferación del SPAM.
