goesaodc_createGoesGrid: Create a GOES grid in satelliteDataDir

In MazamaScience/MazamaSatelliteUtils: Utilities for Working with Model and Satellite Data as Rasters

Description

Creates data files with geolocation information for GOES-16 (East) or GOES-17 (West) satellite products. Takes an open .nc filehandle and reads projection and coordinate grid information from it to create a GOES East or West grid in the directory previously set with setSatelliteDataDir().

Usage

goesaodc_createGoesGrid(nc = NULL, gridFilepath = NULL)

Arguments

nc	ncdf4 handle.
gridFilepath	filepath for either goesEastGrid.rda or goesWestGrid.rda.

Value

Invisibly returns the file path of the created GOES grid file.

Examples

library(MazamaSatelliteUtils)
setSatelliteDataDir("~/Data/Satellite")

scanFilename <- goesaodc_listScanFiles(
  satID = "G16", 
  datetime = "2019-09-06 18:00",
  timezone = "UTC",
)
   
nc <- goesaodc_openScanFile(scanFilename)
G16_filepath <- file.path(getSatelliteDataDir(), "goesEastGrid.rda")
