#' @title AIRS data for May 2003
#' @description Mid-tropospheric CO2 measurements from the Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS).
#' The data are measurements between 60 degrees S and 90 degrees N at roughly 1:30 pm local
#' time on 1 May through to 15 May 2003. (AIRS does not release data below 60 degrees S.)

#' \describe{
#'   \item{year}{year of retrieval}
#'   \item{month}{month of retrieval}
#'   \item{day}{day of retrieval}
#'   \item{lon}{longitude coordinate of retrieval}

#' @title ISEA Aperture 3 Hexagon (ISEA3H) Discrete Global Grid
#'
#' @description The data used here were obtained from
#' https://webpages.sou.edu/~sahrk/dgg/isea.old/gen/isea3h.html and represent ISEA
#' discrete global grids (DGGRIDs) generated using the \code{DGGRID} software.
#' The original .gen files were converted to a data frame using the function \code{dggrid_gen_to_df},
#' available with the \code{dggrids} package. Only resolutions 0--6 are supplied with \code{FRK}
#' and note that resolution 0 of ISEA3H is equal to resolution 1 in \code{FRK}. For higher
#' resolutions \code{dggrids} can be installed from \code{https://github.com/andrewzm/dggrids/}
#' using \code{devtools}.
#' @format A data frame with 284,208 rows and 5 variables:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{id}{grid identification number within the given resolution}
#'   \item{lon}{longitude coordinate}
#'   \item{lat}{latitude coordinate}
#'   \item{res}{DGGRID resolution (0 -- 6)}
#'   \item{centroid}{A 0-1 variable, indicating whether the point describes the centroid of the polygon,
#'   or whether it is a boundary point of the polygon}
#' }

#' @title World map
#' @description This world map was extracted from the package \code{maps} v.3.0.1 by
#' running \code{ggplot2::map_data("world")}. To reduce the data size, only every third point of
#' this data frame is contained in \code{worldmap}.
#' @format A data frame with 33971 rows and 6 variables:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{long}{longitude coordinate}
#'   \item{lat}{latitude coordinate}
#'   \item{group}{polygon (region) number}
#'   \item{order}{order of point in polygon boundary}
