SpatialGridDataFrame to netcdf grid
On linux, you should have the netCDF driver istalled; from gdalDrivers()
I see (on debian etch):
name long_name create copy
42 netCDF Network Common Data Format FALSE TRUE
Then, reading the documentation of writeGDAL:
'create2GDAL' creates a GDAL
data set from a SpatialGridDataFrame object, in particular to be
able to save to GDAL driver formats that only permit copying
rather than creation.
Which is the case for net netCDF format. Might work!

gdal_translate -of NetCDF in.tif out.nc
Thanks for the idea, I'm under GNU/Linux though and don't see that command. It may not be difficult to track down the equivalent though. At any rate, is there some tradeoff to consider when using this these SGDF -> GTiff -> NetCDF conversions? I may have to look deeper into the other packages (e.g. RNetCDF as you mentioned). All the best,
