In environmentalinformatics-marburg/reset: Remote Sensing-Based Evapotranspiration

Extract and process scientific datasets (SDS) from MODIS Swath products.

1 2	getSwathSDS(x, prm, ext = NULL, template = NULL, method = "bilinear", dsn = "", cores = 1L, verbose = FALSE)

`x`	`character`, one or multiple .hdf filename(s).
`prm`	`character`, one or multiple SDS to be processed. See `listSwathSDS` for valid layer names.
`ext`	`Extent` or any other objects from which an `Extent` can be derived, passed on to `crop`. The required coordinate reference system is EPSG:4326 (see http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/wgs-84/). Note that although the usage of this argument is optional, specifying a reference extent results in considerable speed gains, particularly when a `template` is provided.
`template`	`Raster*` template with parameters that the target SDS should be resampled to, see `resample`.
`method`	`character`, the resampling method passed on to `resample` if `template` is specified.
`dsn`	`character`, target folder for file output (optional). Note that if not provided, all resulting images are stored 'in memory'.
`cores`	`integer`, number of cores for parallel computing, see `getSwathExtent`.
`verbose`	`logical`, determines whether to print additional information to the console.
