\item{data}{An object of class \code{s2dv_cube}.}
\item{destination}{A character string containing the directory name in which
to save the data. NetCDF file for each starting date are saved into the
folder tree: \cr
destination/Dataset/variable/. By default the function
creates and saves the data into the working directory.}
\item{sdate_dim}{A character string indicating the name of the start date
dimension. By default, it is set to 'sdate'. It can be NULL if there is no
start date dimension.}
\item{ftime_dim}{A character string indicating the name of the forecast time
dimension. By default, it is set to 'time'. It can be NULL if there is no
forecast time dimension.}
\item{dat_dim}{A character string indicating the name of dataset dimension.
By default, it is set to 'dataset'. It can be NULL if there is no dataset
dimension.}
\item{var_dim}{A character string indicating the name of variable dimension.
By default, it is set to 'var'. It can be NULL if there is no variable
dimension.}
\item{memb_dim}{A character string indicating the name of the member dimension.
By default, it is set to 'member'. It can be NULL if there is no member
dimension.}
\item{single_file}{A logical value indicating if all object is saved in a
single file (TRUE) or in multiple files (FALSE). When it is FALSE,
the array is separated for Datasets, variable and start date. It is FALSE
by default.}
\item{extra_string}{A character string to be include as part of the file name,
for instance, to identify member or realization. It would be added to the
file name between underscore characters.}
\value{
If single_file is TRUE only one file is created. If single_file is
FALSE multiple files are created. When multiple files are created, each file
contains the data subset for each start date, variable and dataset. Files
with different variables and Datasets are stored in separated directories.
The path will be created with the name of the variable and each start date.
NetCDF file for each starting date are saved into the
folder tree: \cr
destination/Dataset/variable/.
}
This function allows to divide and save a object of class
's2dv_cube' into a NetCDF file, allowing to reload the saved data using
\code{Start} function from StartR package. If the original 's2dv_cube' object
has been created from \code{CST_Load()}, then it can be reloaded with
\code{Load()}.
