gshhsMask | R Documentation |
Generate a land mask function based on the Global Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Geography Database.
The mask is provided at two (approximate) spatial resolutions: 0.1 degree and 0.05 degrees. The latter requires significantly more memory.
The mask is constant and the tm
argument to the mask is ignored.
gshhsMask(res = 0.1, latmin = -90, latmax = 90)
landmask_init(res = 0.1, latmin = -90, latmax = 90)
res |
numeric: the spatial resolution of the mask, in degrees (either 0.1 or 0.05) |
function that returns a logical indicating whether the point is at sea (TRUE) or on land (FALSE)
