plotPAIProfile: Plot GEDI Plant Area Index (PAI) Profile

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

Description

This functions plots Plant Area Index (PAI) Profile (GEDI level2B)

Usage

plotPAIProfile(level2BPAIProfile, beam = "BEAM0101", elev = TRUE)

Arguments

level2BPAIProfile	A GEDI Level2B object (output of getLevel2BPAIProfile function). An S4 object of class "data.table".
beam	Select GEDI beam. Default is "BEAM0101". See details section.
elev	If TRUE, elevation will be used for plotting the PAI profile. Otherwise, height will be used instead.

Details

list of GEDI beams. See the output of getLevel2BPAIProfile function.

# Unzipping GEDI level2A data
level2Bpath <- unzip(level2B_fp_zip,exdir = outdir)

# Reading GEDI level2B data (h5 file)
