In getMODIS: Utility package for creating or updating a local user-defined subsets of the global MODIS grid data online archive. Pre-processing functionalities for MODIS grid data using MODIS Reporjection Tool (MRT)

Description

This function retrieves and updates the folder structure on the MODIS data pool and creates a local file to use for further calls. This function is used for reducing the number of getURL calls and to enable as offline mode especially for getHDF.

Usage

getSTRUC(LocalArcPath,product,collection,startdate,enddate,wait=1)

Arguments

LocalArcPath	Character. Is needed because this funtion creates a hidden folder to store ftp directory information. If left empty standard path is used, see ?getHDF.
product	Character. MODIS grid product to be downloaded. For 'MODIS TERRA Vegetation Indices at 250 m ground resolution' use: MOD13Q1. For vegetation indices from TERRA and AQUA use MxD13Q1. See https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/lpdaac/products/modis_products_table for more Products.
collection	Character or integer. Refers to the MODIS product collection-version. Often '005', but see MODIS pages for more information.
startdate	Character. Subset start date of MODIS time series (format: "YYYY.MM.DD").
enddate	Character. Subset end date of MODIS time series (format: "YYYY.MM.DD").
wait	Numeric. Default 1. Inserts a break (in seconds) after every internal getURL() call. It reduces the chance of FTP connection error that often occurs after many requests. Requires the 'audio' package. (Hopefully a temporary solution!)

Value

NONE, a file in an hidden folder /MODIS_ARC/.auxiliaries/ftpdir.txt
