I am pleased to announce that the xtractomatic package is now available from CRAN.
xtractomatic is an R package developed to subset and extract satellite and other oceanographic related data from a remote server. The program can extract data for a moving point in time along a user-supplied set of longitude, latitude and time points; in a 3D bounding box; or within a polygon (through time). The xtractomatic functions were originally developed for the marine biology tagging community, to match up environmental data available from satellites (sea-surface temperature, sea-surface chlorophyll, sea-surface height, sea-surface salinity, vector winds) to track data from various tagged animals or shiptracks (xtracto). The package has since been extended to include the routines that extract data a 3D bounding box (xtracto_3D) or within a polygon (xtractogon). The xtractomatic package accesses data that are served through the ERDDAP server at the NOAA/SWFSC Environmental Research Division in Santa Cruz, California. The ERDDAP server can also be directly accessed at ! http://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap. ERDDAP is a simple to use yet powerful web data service developed by Bob Simons. -Roy ********************** "The contents of this message do not reflect any position of the U.S. Government or NOAA." ********************** Roy Mendelssohn Supervisory Operations Research Analyst NOAA/NMFS Environmental Research Division Southwest Fisheries Science Center ***Note new address and phone*** 110 Shaffer Road Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Phone: (831)-420-3666 Fax: (831) 420-3980 e-mail: roy.mendelss...@noaa.gov www: http://www.pfeg.noaa.gov/ "Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill."
