I am working with some climate data in Netcdf format that are available here:
http://hydro.engr.scu.edu/files/gridded_obs/monthly/ncfiles/

I can successfully read in the files and plot individual bands:
library(ncdf)
test.nc<-open.ncdf("gridded_obs.monthly.Tmin.1999.nc")
test.1.1999<-get.var.ncdf(test.nc,varid="Tmin",start=c(1,1,1),count=c(462,222,1))
library(raster)
image(test.1.1999) #looks good
test.raster<-raster(test.1.1999)
image(test.raster) #now North America is on its side, east coast of NA is now on the south side of the image

Is it possible to convert this file to a raster file without having the axes switched? Any guesses what I am doing wrong?

I had a similar problem using gdal_translate where the output was a mirror image of what it should have been.
Thanks,
Sam
