CO2 | R Documentation |
This is an example of moderately large spatial data set and consists of simulated CO2 concentrations that are irregularly sampled from a lon/lat grid. Also included is the complete CO2 field (CO2.true) used to generate the synthetic observations.
data(CO2)
The format of CO2
is a list with two components:
lon.lat: 26633x2 matrix of the longitude/latitude locations. These are a subset of a larger lon/lat grid (see example below).
y: 26633 CO2 concentrations in parts per million.
The format of CO2.true
is a list in "image" format with components:
x longitude grid values.
y latitude grid values.
z an image matrix with CO2 concentration in parts per million
mask a logical image that indicates with grid locations were
selected for the synthetic data set CO2
.
This data was generously provided by Dorit Hammerling and Randy Kawa as a test example for the spatial analysis of remotely sensed (i.e. satellite) and irregular observations. The synthetic data is based on a true CO2 field simulated from a geophysical, numerical model.
