Description
This function uses the haversine formula to calculate the great circle
distance between two locations, identified by their latitudes and longitudes.
Usage
1
meteo_spherical_distance(lat1, long1, lat2, long2, units = "deg")
Arguments
lat1
Latitude of the first location.
long1
Longitude of the first location.
lat2
Latitude of the second location.
long2
Longitude of the second location.
units
Units of the latitude and longitude values. Possible values
are:
-
deg: Degrees (default);
-
rad: Radians.
Value
A numeric value giving the distance (in kilometers) between the
pair of locations.
