earthDist: Earth distance between two geographic locations
In marchtaylor/sinkr: Collection of functions with emphasis on multivariate data analysis
earthDist R Documentation
Earth distance between two geographic locations
Description
earthDist calculates distance (in kilometers) between two
lon/lat positions.
The function assumes a mean equatorial Earth radius of 6378.145 km. One of the
lon/lat positions (i.e. lon1 and lat1) can be a vector of positions to compare against
the other lon/lat position (i.e. lon2 and lat2)
Usage
earthDist(lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2)
Arguments
lon1
Longitude 1 (in decimal degrees)
lat1
Latitude 1 (in decimal degrees)
lon2
Longitude 2 (in decimal degrees)
lat2
Latitude 2 (in decimal degrees)
Value
Vector of distances (km)
Examples
earthDist(0,0,20,20)
