Read and format global mean temperature

Read global mean temperature from an input netCDF file and format for use with the rest of the processing functions.

readtgav(tgavfilename)

Arguments

tgavfilename	netCDF file with global mean temperatures variable

Value

A ntime x 1 matrix of global mean temperature

Details

Global mean temperature is a 1-D array, so storing in a netCDF file isn't strictly necessary; however, some tools produce it in that format by default. A vector of tgav values from any source can be used with the other functions in this package; all you have to do is convert it to an ntime x 1 matrix using as.matrix.
