Usage

try_att(nc, variable, attribute)

Arguments

nc

"NetCDF" object which points to the NetCDF dataset. Found with RNetCDF::open.nc.

variable

ID or name of the variable from which the attribute will be read, or "NC_GLOBAL" for a global attribute.

attribute

Attribute name or ID.

Value

Vector with a data type that depends on the NetCDF variable. For NetCDF variables of type NC_CHAR, the R type is either character or raw, as specified by argument rawchar.
