I am in desperate need of help. I’m a PhD candidate and unfortunately, the university has essentially closed for the holidays so there aren’t people around to ask for help.
So I usually work in physiology, but I’m currently working with ecological data, and this is where I’ve become stuck (I’ve been stuck here for over a week). The file I need to read is a ‘.nc’ file which, as far as I can tell, it has 3 dimensions (Latitude, Longitude, and Time[date]) with 7(?) variables.
Excel can’t read it even with the NetCDF4 plug-in. So, I’ve tried putting it into Rstudio and it CAN read it, but just can’t display it to me in any sort of readable manner.
Even when I try and display some variables, nothing comes out in a readable manner.
The data is publically accessible from https://portal.aodn.org.au, and are readings of Alkalinity-Carbon-Salinity-Temperature of the Indian ocean surrounding Western Australia (lat and long co-ordinates) from years 1900 – 2013.
My end goal is to turn this data into a readable excel file so I can begin to analyse it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
