Reading *.nc4 data

The message seems to be clear in that either the directory or file is not
where you think it is.  Use 'choose.files()' to navigate to the file and
see what it prints out as the location.

Tell me what you want to do, not how you want to do it.

Dear all,

i get the following error when reading *.nc4 data:

Error in R_nc_open: No such file or directoryError in
open.ncdf("D:/Ag/rst_1980_prate.nc4") :
  Error in open.ncdf trying to open file D:/Ag/rst_1980_prate.nc4


library("ncdf")
prec <- open.ncdf("D:/Ag/rst_1980_prate.nc4")
lons <- get.var.ncdf(prec,"lon")
lats <- get.var.ncdf(prec,"lat")
time <- get.var.ncdf(prec,"time")

What could be the problem

thanks for your help

I don?t think the ncdf library open netcdf4 files, which your file would seem to be.  You need the library ncdf4 for that.  For variety of reasons perhaps others can explain, ncdf4 for Windows is not on CRAN.  You can download it from:
