abstract = "Geoscientists now live in a world with an exponential growth in
digital data and methods. Climate change studies usually describe
computational methods informally. Climate scientists seek to share
their information, the justification of reproducible research has
received increasing attention in geosciences. To have it in an
open-source format makes it easier to interchange not only with
fellow scientists but also a variety of sources including funders,
publishers, and journalists. R is a open-source computer language
powerful and highly extensible that can promotes reproductive
science techniques in a easier way. R is highly accessible for
non-computational scientists when coupled with packages like
raster'', netcdf'', ´rgdal`and rasterVis'', R enables scientists
to make sense of their data and to carry out complex data
analysis. In this paper we have assessed the power of R language
for manipulating climate data from a huge dataset: the Coupled
Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). Moreover we have
proposed an example of best practices to handle model ensembles.
This is the first study to our knowledge to promote best practices
for CMIP5 ensemble. The NetCDF data accessible to R via raster
package capabilities provides efficient access to the multi-model,
with crucial applications in climate change research. In recent
years more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications have
used the CMIP5 data sets. We envision that in the near future
(5-10 years), scientists will use radically new tools to author
papers and disseminate information about the process and products
of their research.",
