rerddapXtracto: Routines to simplify data extraction using ERD's ERDDAP web service.

The rerddapXtracto package subsets and extracts satellite and other oceanographic related data from any ERDDAP server using the R package "rerddap"developed by Scott Chamberlain and the wonderful people at "rOpenSci".

Details

The package contains three main functions:

Main Functions

• rxtracto - Extracts an environmental variable along a track defined by its longtiude, latitude and time.

• rxtracto_3D - Extracts an environmental variable in a 3D (longitude,latitude, time) bounding box

• rxtractogon - Extracts an environmental variable in a spatial polygon through time.

These functions require a call be made to rerddap:info() for the appropriate ERDDAP server and datasetID. #' @section Details: Besides the terse help documents, more detail in using the functions are given in the included vignette "UsingrerddapXtracto". The datasets used in the vignette are included in the "data" directory.
