The ''SPECS-EUPORIAS Data Portal'' can be remotely accessed from R via the [mtl:browser:MLToolbox/trunk/MLToolbox_experiments/antonio/system4/r/loadSystem4.R loadSystem4.R] function. Note that this function is part of a more comprehensive R package currently under development. This function automatically cares about the proper location of the right indices for data sub-setting across the different variable dimensions, given a few simple arguments for subset definition. In addition, instead of retrieving a NetCDF file that needs to be opened and read, the requested data is directly loaded into the current R working session, according to a particular structure described below, prior to data analysis and/or representation.

In order to describe the input arguments and output data structure returned by '''loadSystem4''', an example is illustrated in the [mtl:browser:https://www.meteo.unican.es/trac/meteo/wiki/SpecsEuporias/RPackage/Examples next example]
