returnRecordsByCoordinates: Return climate records based on coordinate bounds

In Conte-Ecology/zonalDaymet: A toolset to process Daymet climate records

Description

The returnRecordsByCoordinates function returns the climate records for a section of the mosaic file specified by coordinate bounds.

Usage

returnRecordsByCoordinates(areaExtent, mosaicFile, outputFormat = "long",
  startDate, endDate)

Arguments

areaExtent	Vector string of numeric values specifying lat/lon coordinates of the bounding box. The format is: c(Minimum Longitude, Maximum Longitude, Minimum Latitude, Maximum Latitude).
mosaicFile	Character string of the file path to the netCDF mosiac file to access.
outputFormat	A character string of the format of the dataframe output. Options are "wide" or "long" defaulting to "long".
startDate	A character string of the first date to return. This date must match the year of the mosaic file. The format is: "yyyy-mm-dd"
endDate	A character string of the last date to return. This date must match the year of the mosaic file. The format is: "yyyy-mm-dd"

Details

Climate records for all points within the bounding box will be retrieved and identified by their source latitude and longitude coordinates.

Examples

returnRecordsByCoordinates(areaExtent   = c(-71.0, -70.0, 42.0, 43.0),
                           mosaicFile   = "C:/USER/Data/Daymet/prcp_2010.nc4",
                           outputFormat = "long",
                           startDate    = "2010-01-01",
                           endDate      = "2010-01-31")
