Contains a collection of helper functions for dealing with 
    'NetCDF' files <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/> 
    opened using 'ncdf4', particularly 'NetCDF' files that conform to the
    Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata Conventions 
    <http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.7/cf-conventions.html>.

Network Common Data Form ('netCDF') files are widely used for 
    scientific data. Library-level access in R is provided through packages 
    'RNetCDF' and 'ncdf4'. Package 'ncdfCF' is built on top of 'RNetCDF' and 
    makes the data and its attributes available as a set of R6 classes that are 
    informed by the Climate and Forecasting Metadata Conventions. Access to the 
    data uses standard R subsetting operators and common function forms.

Tools to create time series and geometry 'NetCDF' files.

Tools for handling 'NetCDF' metadata in data frames. The metadata is provided
    as relations in tabular form, to avoid having to scan printed header output or to navigate 
    nested lists of raw metadata.

Spatial (cross-)covariance and related geostatistical tools: the
        nonparametric (cross-)covariance function , the spline correlogram, the
        nonparametric phase coherence function, local indicators of spatial 
        association (LISA), (Mantel) correlogram, (Partial) Mantel test.

Extract metadata from 'NetCDF' data sources, these can be files, file handles or
 servers. This package leverages and extends the lower level functions of the 'RNetCDF' package 
 providing a consistent set of functions that all return data frames. We introduce named concepts 
 of 'grid', 'axis' and 'source' which are all meaningful entities without formal definition in the 
 'NetCDF' library <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/>. 'RNetCDF' matches the library 
 itself with only the named concepts of 'variables', 'dimensions' and 'attributes'.

A set of handy functions. Includes a versatile one line progress bar, one 
 line function timer with detailed output, time delay function, text histogram, object 
 preview, CRAN package search, simpler package installer, Linux command install check, 
 a flexible Mode function, top function, simulation of correlated data, and more.
