Description Usage Arguments Details Value References Examples
Takes in a matrix and returns a SpatialPolygon
object
representing regions fitting some criteria. Typically these regions are
either where the sea ice concentration is above a certain level or
where there is land.

dat |
matrix of one of the allowed data types ("gfdl", "bootstrap", or "simple) (see details) |
dat_type |
string indicating the format of the data: either "gfdl", "bootstrap", or "simple" (see details) |
level |
concentration level of interest |
my_land_mat |
binary matrix specifying land locations |
my_all_regions |

use_all |
boolean, if true indicates to use the full area (overrides
|
land_ind |
boolean, if true indicates that the region of interest is the land |
xmn |
min x dimension (defaults to value for polar stereographic grid: -3850) |
xmx |
max x dimension (defaults to value for polar stereographic grid: 3750) |
ymn |
min y dimension (defaults to value for polar stereographic grid: -5350) |
ymx |
max y dimension (defaults to value for polar stereographic grix: 5850) |
For datType = "simple"
the values in the dat
matrix
are indicators of whether the grid box contains ice (1: ice-covered,
0: no ice, NA: land). If datType = "gfdl"
or
datType = "bootstrap"
, the values in the matrix correspond
to the raw ice concentrations values observed or predicted
(including indicators for missing data, land etc.). If
datType = "gfdl"
, the predictions are formatted as in the
CM2.5 Forecast-oriented Low-Ocean Resolution (FLOR) model produced
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Geophysical
Fluid Dynamics Laboratory converted to a Polar Stereographic grid
(Vecchi et al. 2014; Msadek et al. 2014). If
datType = "bootstrap"
the array values are formatted the same
as the ice concentration values obtained from the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) satellites Nimbus-7
SMMR and DMSP SSM/I-SSMIS and processed by the bootstrap algorithm.
