wrf_meta returns the attributes of a wrf NetCDF file in a data.frame. Therefore, there is no need to use ncdump -h "wrf_file"

wrf_meta(file = file.choose())

Arguments

file

Character; name of file interactively (default) or specified

Examples

{
file = paste0(system.file("extdata", package = "eixport"),"/wrfinput_d02")
wrf_meta(file)
}
