Download from this website the following ZIP file: NUTS_2006_60M_SH.zip and save all theNUTS_RG_60M_2006 files. In what follows I refer to this as "NUTS3 regions".
Download from this website the following nc-file: cru_ts3.23.1991.2000.pet.dat.nc.gz This is a raster with data all over the world.
The netcdf file has data on one variable (pet) for multiple months per year (from 1991 to 2000). For each month, I would like to translate all these values into averages per nuts3 region.
I can open the file in R and make a cvs file from it, but I do not manage to overlap each monthly value with the nuts3 regions.
Results can be stored in a table by month and by nuts3, or in a shapefile. Either way is fine!
Does somebody have an experience with this? Any concrete help is highly appreciated!
