Section outline

  • The Climate Data Record (CDR) SARAH (and most other CM SAF data) is provided in cf-compliant NetCDF format. Thus, any software capable of handling NetCDF data can be used.

    The CM SAF R Toolbox was specifically developed for climatological time series analysis of NetCDF data. An overview on the CM SAF R Toolbox and some functionalities are provided in the section "The CM SAF R Toolbox."

    To familiarize with the SARAH CDR, we encourage you to go through the cheat sheets "Basic Climate Analysis using the CM SAF R Toolbox" provided below.

      The CM SAF R Toolbox

      The CM SAF R TOOLBOX is an easy-to-use tool to prepare, analyze and visualize CM SAF NetCDF data. The Toolbox offers a collection of more than 60 operators for analysis and manipulation of CM SAF NetCDF formatted data. The CM SAF R Toolbox is based on an R-shiny graphical user interface, which guides through all options. Thus, no R or scripting experience is needed.

      More on the CM SAF R Toolbox

      We offer a lot of information material to make the start with the CM SAF R Toolbox as easy as possible. Besides the introductive video, there is a manual for the Toolbox as well as for the cmsaf R-package, a Questions & Answers document and a flyer. 

      Probably the best way to start with CM SAF data and the CM SAF R Toolbox is the COMET e-learning module, which we highly recommend. It takes about 1 hour to complete the COMET module.
