R Netcdf cheatsheet

NetCDF files are often used to distribute gridded, multidimensional spatial data such as sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a levels and so on. NetCDF is more than just a file format, and so googling it can be a little intimidating. I hope this helps make these files a little easier to use in R.

Furthermore, looking at the change in effort adds a temporal dimension, suggesting where effort has increased or decreased between the elections.

Greyscale Contour Plots

Plotting greyscale contoured data in R with ggplot2
