In carlos-alberto-silva/rGEDI: NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Data Visualization and Processing

Clip GEDI Plant Area Volume Density profile by Coordinates

Description

This function clips GEDI level2B derived Plant Area Volume Density profile within a given bounding coordinates

Usage

clipLevel2BPAVDProfile(level2BPAVDProfile, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)

Arguments

level2BPAVDProfile	A GEDI Level2B object (output of getLevel2BPAVDProfile() function). An S4 object of class "data.table".
xmin	Numeric. West longitude (x) coordinate of the bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees.
xmax	Numeric. East longitude (x) coordinate of the bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees.
ymin	Numeric. South latitude (y) coordinate of the bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees.
ymax	Numeric. North latitude (y) coordinate of the bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees.

Value

Returns an S4 object of class data.table::data.table containing the Plant Area Volume Density profile data.

Examples

# specify the path to GEDI level2B data (zip file)
outdir <- tempdir()
level2B_fp_zip <- system.file("extdata",

  package = "rGEDI"
)

# Unzipping GEDI level2A data
level2Bpath <- unzip(level2B_fp_zip, exdir = outdir)

# Reading GEDI level2B data (h5 file)
level2b <- readLevel2B(level2Bpath = level2Bpath)

# Extracting GEDI Plant Area Volume Density profile
level2BPAVDProfile <- getLevel2BPAVDProfile(level2b)

# Bounding rectangle coordinates
xmin <- -44.15036
xmax <- -44.10066
ymin <- -13.75831
ymax <- -13.71244

# Clipping GEDI Plant Area Volume Density profile by boundary box extent
level2BPAVDProfile_clip <- clipLevel2BPAVDProfile(level2BPAVDProfile, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
