[R] extend limited dimension in netcdf

[raphael.felber at agroscope.admin.ch]

Dear all

I have to combine 3D netCDF files (lon, lat, time). The files contain data of one month and I need a year file containing all the data. Because the attributes of all files are the same, I copied the first file and appended the data of the other months. This went well until the provider of the data changed the time-dimension from UNLIMITED to LIMITED. Is there a way to change the time dimension to UNLIMITED?

I tried

ncnew$dim[[3]]$unlim <- TRUE

but this has no effect.

Thanks for any help.

Kind regards

Raphi
