In MazamaScience/PWFSLSmoke: Utilities for Working with Air Quality Monitoring Data

Calculate distances from monitors to a location of interest

Description

This function returns the distances (km) between monitoring sites and a location of interest. These distances can be used to create a mask identifying monitors within a certain radius of the location of interest.

Usage

monitor_distance(ws_monitor, longitude, latitude)

Arguments

ws_monitor	ws_monitor object
longitude	longitude of the location of interest
latitude	latitude of the location of interest

Examples

library(PWFSLSmoke)

N_M <- Northwest_Megafires
# Walla Walla
WW_lon <- -118.330278
WW_lat <- 46.065
distance <- monitor_distance(N_M, WW_lon, WW_lat)
closestIndex <- which(distance == min(distance))
distance[closestIndex]
N_M$meta[closestIndex,]
