st_rotate {stars}

Transform rotated pole long/lat regular grid to unrotated curvilinear grid

Description

Transform rotated long/lat regular grid to unrotated curvilinear grid

Usage

## S3 method for class 'stars'
st_rotate(.x, lon0, lat0, north = TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'sfc'
st_rotate(.x, lon0, lat0, north = TRUE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'sf'
st_rotate(.x, lon0, lat0, north = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

.x

object of class stars

lon0

longitude of the rotated pole in degrees

lat0

latitude of the rotated pole in degrees

north

logical; if TRUE the pole refers to the North pole, otherwise the South pole

...

ignored

Value

curvilinear stars object with coordinates in regular long/lat (North pole at lat=90)
