#' Gather weekly  NDVI for point coordinates
#' 
#' The NDVI data from AVHRR is gathered from the FTP server 
#' and NDVI values are extracted for (a list of) point 
#' coordinates. 
#' @param yrs 
#' vector c() or sequence seq() of years do be extracted
#' @param wks 
#' vector c() or sequence seq() of weeks do be extracted
#' @param lns 
#' vector of longitudes of point locations
#' @param lts 
#' vector of latutudes of point locations
#' @param nms 
#' vector of names of point locations
#' @return A object of the class SpatialPointsDataFrame will be 
#' created. The extracted values are stored in the slot data and 
#' the column.
