Downscale a wind rose raster data to higher spatial resolution

Description

This function disaggregates a wind_rose raster, interpolating it to higher spatial resolution and then adjusting values to maintain correct connectivity units. Downscaling is useful when connectivity is to be modeled between sites that are separated by few or no grid cells.

Usage

downscale(x, fact, method = "bilinear")

Arguments

x	wind_rose
fact	a single integer giving the factor by which to disaggregate the data; this is passed to disagg.
method	disaggregation method; either "near" or "bilinear'; see disagg for details.

Details

Larger values of fact create higher-resolution wind surfaces, which improves connectivity estimates between nearby sites. The trade-off is computational cost.

Value

A higher resolution version of x
