Creates a GOES grid in satelliteDataDir

Creates data files with geolocation information for GOES-16 (East) or GOES-17 (West) satellite products. Takes an open .nc filehandle and reads projection and coordinate grid information from it to create a GOES East or West grids in the directory previously set with setSatelliteDataDir().

createGoesGrid(nc = NULL, grid_filepath = NULL)

Arguments

nc

open .nc filehandle created with goesaodc_openFile()
grid_filepath

filepath location for either goesEastGrid.rda or goesWestGrid.rda

Examples

# \donttest{
library(MazamaSatelliteUtils)

setSatelliteDataDir("~/Data/Satellite")
outputDir <- getSatelliteDataDir()

nc_file <- goesaodc_listFiles(satID = "G16",
  datetime = "201924918",
  timezone = "UTC",
  isJulian = TRUE)[1]

nc <- goesaodc_openFile(nc_file)
G16_filepath <- file.path(outputDir, "goesEastGrid.rda")

createGoesGrid(nc, G16_filepath)

# }
