The process_hms() function imports and cleans raw wildfire smoke
plume coverage data, returning a single SpatVector object.
Usage
process_hms(
date = c("2018-01-01", "2018-01-01"),
path = NULL,
extent = NULL,
...
)Arguments
- date
character(2). length of 10 each. Start/end date of downloaded data. Format YYYY-MM-DD (ex. September 1, 2023 = "2023-09-01").
- path
character(1). Directory with downloaded NOAA HMS data files.
- extent
numeric(4) or SpatExtent giving the extent of the output if
NULL(default), the entire data is returned- ...
Placeholders.
Note
process_hms() will return a character object if there are no wildfire
smoke plumes present for the selected dates and density. The returned
character will contain the density value and the sequence of dates
for which no wildfire smoke plumes were detected (see "Examples").
If multiple density polygons overlap, the function will return the
highest density value.
Examples
hms <- process_hms(
date = c("2018-12-30", "2019-01-01"),
path = "../tests/testdata/hms/"
)
#> Smoke plume polygons absent from 2018-12-30 to 2019-01-01. Returning vector of dates.
