clipLevel2BPAIProfile: Clip GEDI Plant Area Index profile by Coordinates

Description

This function clips GEDI level2B derived Plant Area Index profile a within given bounding coordinates

Usage

clipLevel2BPAIProfile(level2BPAIProfile, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)

Value

Returns an S4 object of class data.table::data.table

containing the Plant Area Index profile data.

Arguments

level2BPAIProfile

A GEDI Level2B object (output of getLevel2BPAIProfile() function). An S4 object of class "gedi.level2b".

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.
