Yang,

The closer of what you are asking for that I know is the RNCEP package, which deals with reanalysis data. Package clim.pact used to provide some useful methods (like EOF and PCA), but for some reason it was descontinued.

However, all the packages you mentioned provide a way to take advantage of R's flexibility and allow you to develop you own methods.

Best,
Thiago.

Dear Dr. Pierce and R specialists,

I am much appreciated your work on ncdf(ncdf4 and RnetCDF) packages,
however, I am wondering if those package can go further.

Is there a package for calculating climate statistics ,e.g. monthly mean,
seasonal mean, yearly mean,spatial mean( like gridboxmean in CDO), and
climatology for multiyear analysis in R or CRAN ? and Is there a plotting
library for the climate variables particularly for NetCDF.

I found a little trivial when I plan to do statistical based on daily data
for long history (I do it using some tools but not efficient, everytime I
need to generate a file and then use ncdf funcitons to read and then plot.

Thanks,

Ping
