Get BOM Satellite GeoTIFF Imagery

Source: R/get_satellite_imagery.R

Fetch BOM satellite GeoTIFF imagery from ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/gms/ and return a raster stack object of 'GeoTIFF' files. Files are available at ten minute update frequency with a 24 hour delete time. Suggested to check file availability first by using get_available_imagery.

get_satellite_imagery(product_id, scans = 1, cache = FALSE)

Arguments

product_id

Character. BOM product ID to download in 'GeoTIFF' format and import as a stack object. A vector of values from get_available_imagery may be used here. Value is required.
scans

Numeric. Number of scans to download, starting with most recent and progressing backwards, e.g., 1 - the most recent single scan available , 6 - the most recent hour available, 12 - the most recent 2 hours available, etc. Negating will return the oldest files first. Defaults to 1. Value is optional.
cache

Logical. Store image files locally for later use? If FALSE, the downloaded files are removed when R session is closed. To take advantage of cached files in future sessions, use cache = TRUE. Defaults to FALSE. Value is optional.

Value

A raster stack of GeoTIFF images with layers named by BOM Product ID, timestamp and band.

Details

Valid BOM satellite Product IDs for use with product_id include:
