A more reproducible code below:
# Create a dataset - assuming the coordinates are in CRS=4326
data <- data.frame(
longitude = c(11.95501, 11.95501, 11.95498, 11.95493, 11.95487, 11.95497),
latitude = c(65.67812, 65.67814, 65.67821, 65.67808, 65.67809, 65.67810),
date = as.Date(rep("2006-03-26", 6))
)
# fetch the ncdf file for a specific year
url=paste0('NETCDF:/vsicurl/https://thredds.met.no/thredds/fileServer/senorge/seNorge_2018/Archive/seNorge2018_', year,'.nc')
# Read the netcdf file from the url
netcdf_file=stars::read_stars(url, sub='rr', proxy=TRUE)
# Transform the dataset into an sf object
data_st <- data %>% st_as_sf(.,
coords = c("longitude", "latitude"),
crs=4326)
# Reproject the CRS to match the CRS of the netcdf
data_st <- st_transform(data_st, crs=st_crs(netcdf_file))
data_st$rr <- st_extract(netcdf_file, data_st, time_column="date")
GDAL supports accessing to data remotely without having to download it in advance.
Should we mention it and provide some code snippets on how to do it in Python/R?
Here is an example of using GDAL virtual file system to access a remote NetCDF file without downloading it:
This snippet uses R stars library.
Such a URL works with
gdalinfo
from command line and on a wide variety of software using GDAL.Maybe Benjamin Cretois can help with that as well?
