Clip GEDI Level2B data by Coordinates
This function extracts GEDI Level1B data a within given bounding coordinates
clipLevel2B(level2b, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, output = "")
level2b |
A GEDI Level2B object (output of |
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. |
Returns a list of S4 object of class "gedi.level2b" containing clipped GEDI Level2B data.
