plotPAVDProfile: Plot GEDI Plant Area Volume Density Profile

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

Description

This functions plots Plant Area Volume Density profile (GEDI level2B)

Usage

plotPAVDProfile(level2BPAVDProfile, beam = "BEAM0101", elev = TRUE)

Arguments

level2BPAVDProfile	A GEDI Level2B object (output of getLevel2BPAVDProfile 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 PAVD profile. Otherwise, height will be used instead.

Details

list of GEDI beams. See the output of getLevel2BPAVDProfile function.
