What is loadeR?

loadeR is an R package for climate data access building on NetCDF Java. It allows loading local or remote data (from OPeNDAP servers) and is fully integrated with the User Data Gateway (UDG). This package has been conceived to work in the framework of both seasonal forecasting and climate change studies. Thus, it considers ensemble members as a basic dimension of the two main data structures (grid and station). Find out more about this package at the loadeR wiki

This package is part of the climate4R bundle, formed by loadeR, transformeR, downscaleR and visualizeR.

The recommended installation procedure (for loader and the companion loadeR.java packages) is to use the install_github command from the devtools R package (see the installation info in the wiki):

devtools::install_github(c("SantanderMetGroup/loadeR.java", "SantanderMetGroup/loadeR"))

IMPORTANT: The package requires Java version 1.7 or higher. Several recommendations for known problems with R and Java are given in the wiki installation info).

NOTE: loadeR is enhanced by loadeR.ECOMS package which allows to remotely access harmonized data from several state-of-the-art seasonal forecasting databases stored at the ECOMS-UDG.
