DGVMData not found #70

Closed EstellepaleoR closed 3 years ago

EstellepaleoR commented 3 years ago

Hi Matthew,

I've been trying to compare my run with some available data such as the Biome model and always receives the error below: 

biomes.source <- defineSource(id = "DataBiomes",
   dir = system.file("extdata", "DGVMData", "HandP_PNV", "HD", package = "DGVMTools"), 
   format = DGVMData,
  name = "Haxeltine and Prentice Biomes")

Error in defineSource(id = "DataBiomes", dir = system.file("extdata", : object 'DGVMData' not found

Could you help me on how to fix this please? Thanks

Hi Estelle, that is an easy one. Just exchange "DGVMData" with "NetCDF" and it should work fine.

The reason for this happening is that I replaced the previous DGVMData Format (which was rather custom and inflexible) with a much more general NetCDF Format. The NetCDF Format should be capable of reading a fairly wide range of netCDF files if they have a reasonably standard structure (ie include longitude and latitide dimensions and have a time dimension with units which are not toooo crazy).

Hi,

Thank you so much for the quick reply Matthew. It is indeed working nicely. Should send you an email soon for more discussions on the outputs :)

Cheers
