run_swath2grid_mod02nrt {proccalibrad}

Run MRTSwath swath2grid tool

Description

MRTSwath is the "MODIS Reprojection Tool for swath products". See: https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/tools/modis_reprojection_tool_swath).

Usage

run_swath2grid_mod02nrt(mrtpath = "swath2grid", prmfn = "tmpMRTparams.prm",
  tifsdir, modfn, geoloc_fn, ul_lon, ul_lat, lr_lon, lr_lat)

Arguments

mrtpath

This is the path to the MRTSwath executable swath2grid. If your ~/.Rprofile file has the location of swath2grid in the PATH, then you can just use mrtpath="swath2grid". Otherwise, the user must provide the full path to swath2grid.

prmfn

The name of the parameter/control file which will be the input to MRTSwath's swath2grid function.

tifsdir

The directory to save the output TIF files in

modfn

The filename of the MODIS data

geoloc_fn

The filename of the corresponding geolocation file (annoyingly, this is a much larger file than the data file!)

ul_lon

Upper left (ul) longitude (x-coordinate) for subsetting

ul_lat

Upper left (ul) latitude (y-coordinate) for subsetting

lr_lon

Lower right (lr) longitude (x-coordinate) for subsetting

lr_lat

Lower right (lr) latitude (y-coordinate) for subsetting

Details

If you want this function to use MRTSwath tool successfully, you should add the directory with the MRTSwath executable to the default R PATH by editing ~/.Rprofile.

Value

cmdstr The string giving the system command that ran swath2grid
