Description

Raster containing MODIS tile ID's

Usage

getModisTiles(x, tiles)
crsModis
getModisRaster()
getDegreeRaster()

Arguments

x	A spatial object which modis tiles will cover.
tiles	A raster with modis (or other) tiles.

Details

Provides information on tiles which can be downloaded from MODIS.

Value

getModisTiles returns a matrix with modis tiles.

getModisRaster shows horizontal and vertical tile names for downloading data from MODIS.

getDegreeRaster shows horizontal and vertical tiles in long-lat, for downloading elevation.

Examples

crsModis

myPointLL = vect(cbind(c(5:6),10:11), crs = crsLL)


getModisTiles(myPointLL)

	paste(getModisTiles(myPointLL, getModisRaster())[,'tile'], collapse='|'), 
	").*.hdf$")

	    modisUrl,ftp.use.epsv=FALSE,
	    dirlistonly = TRUE)), value=TRUE)
paste0(modisUrl, theFiles)
