# What is loadeR?

loadeR is an R package for climate data access building on NetCDF Java. It allows loading local or remote data (from OPeNDAP servers) and is fully integrated with the User Data Gateway ([UDG](http://www.meteo.unican.es/udg-wiki)). This package has been conceived to work in the framework of both seasonal forecasting and climate change studies. Thus, it considers ensemble members as a basic dimension of the two main data structures (`grid` and `station`). Find out more about this package at the [loadeR wiki](https://github.com/SantanderMetGroup/loadeR/wiki).
loadeR is an R package for climate data access building on the NetCDF-Java API. It allows user-friendly data access either from local or remote locations (e.g. OPeNDAP servers) and it is fully integrated with the User Data Gateway ([UDG](http://www.meteo.unican.es/udg-wiki)), a Climate Data Service deployed and maintained by the [Santander Meteorology Group](http://www.meteo.unican.es). loadeR has been conceived to work in the framework of both seasonal forecasting and climate change studies. Thus, it considers ensemble members as a basic dimension of its two main data structures (`grid` and `station`).

This package is part of the [climate4R bundle](http://www.meteo.unican.es/climate4r), formed by `loadeR`, `transformeR`, `downscaleR` and `visualizeR`.
