clipLevel2B: Clip GEDI Level2B data by Coordinates

In rGEDI: NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Data Visualization and Processing

Description

This function extracts GEDI Level1B data a within given bounding coordinates

Usage

clipLevel2B(level2b, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, output = "")

Arguments

level2b	A GEDI Level2B object (output of readLevel2B function). An S4 object of class "gedi.level2b".
xmin	Numeric. West longitude (x) coordinate of the bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees.
xmax	Numeric. East longitude (x) coordinate of the bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees.
ymin	Numeric. South latitude (y) coordinate of the bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees.
ymax	Numeric. North latitude (y) coordinate of the bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees.
output	Optional character path where to save the new hdf5 file. The default stores a temporary file only.

Value

Returns a list of S4 object of class "gedi.level2b" containing clipped GEDI Level2B data.
