Thank you, I also see the same output in gdalDrivers():
name long_name create copy
43 netCDF Network Common Data Format FALSE TRUE
but then create2GDAL fails with:
R> create2GDAL(locs.sub.ts, drivername="netCDF")
Error in .local(.Object, ...) :
GDAL Error 6: GDALDriver::Create() ... no create method implemented for
this format.
I don't understand this message, given that create2GDAL() should be used
when only copying is allowed for a driver (as reported by gdalDrivers(),
and ?writeGDAL). I'm using:
