I have taken raster images from worldclim and I want to cut this raster image to Canada latitude and longitude (42,83, 53,141). I am new user in R so can anyone tell me how I cut this on R.
You can use crop() function from the package raster:
library(raster)
canada_cropped = crop(x = full_raster_image, y = your_extension)
Here x can be your raster image that you want to crop from, and y is the extent object (or an object you can extract from).
I would recommend using ?raster::crop where you can learn a lot more about this.

I have a NetCDF file of global oceanographic (OmegaA) data at relatively coarse spatial resolution with 33 depth levels. I also have a global bathymetry raster at much finer resolution. My goal is to use get the seabed OmegaA data from the NetCDF file, using the bathymetry data to determine the desired depth. My code so far;
library(raster)
library(rgdal)
library(ncdf4)
# Aragonite data. Defaults to CRS WGS84
ncin <- nc_open("C:/..../GLODAPv2.2016b.OmegaA.nc")
ncin.depth <- ncvar_get(ncin, "Depth")# 33 depth levels
omegaA.brk <- brick("C:/.../GLODAPv2.2016b.OmegaA.nc")
omegaA.brk <-rotate(omegaA.bkr)# because netCDF is in Lon 0-360.
# depth raster. CRS WGS84
r<-raster("C:/....GEBCO.tif")
# resample the raster brick to the resolution that matches the bathymetry raster
omegaA.brk <-resample(omegaA.brk, r, method="bilinear")
# create blank final raster
omegaA.rast <- raster(ncol = r#ncols, nrow = r#nrows)
extent(omegaA.rast) <- extent(r)
omegaA.rast[] <- NA_real_
# create vector of indices of desired depth values
depth.values<-getValues(r)
depth.values.index<-which(!is.na(depth.values))
# loop to find appropriate raster brick layer, and extract the value at the desired index, and insert into blank raster
for (p in depth.values.index) {
dep.index <-which(abs(ncin.depth+depth.values[p]) == min(abs(ncin.depth+depth.values[p]))) ## this sometimes results in multiple levels being selected
brk.level <-omegaA.brk[[dep.index]] # can be more than on level if multiple layers selected above.
omegaA.rast[p] <-omegaA.brk[[1]][p] ## here I choose the first level if multiple levels have been selected above
print(paste(p, "of", length(depth.values.index))) # counter to look at progress.
}
The problem: The result is a raster with massive gaps (NAs) in it where there should be data. The gaps often take a distinctive shape - eg, follow a contour, or along a long straight line. I've pasted a cropped example.
enter image description here
I think this could be because either 1) for some reason the 'which' statement in the loop is not finding a match or 2) a misalignment of the projections is created which I've read can happen when using 'Rotate'.
I've tried to make sure all the extents, resolutions, number of cells, and CRS's are all the same, which they seem to be.
To speed up the process I've cropped the global brick and bathy raster to my area of interest, again checking that all the spatial resolutions, etc etc match - I've not included those steps here for simplicity.
At a loss. Any help welcome!
Without a reproducible example, this kind of problems is hard to solve. I can't tell where your problem is but I'll present to you the approach I would try. Maybe it's good, maybe it's bad, I don't know but it may inspire you to find a way to go around your problem.
To my understanding, you have a brick of OmegaA (33 layers/depth) and a bathymetry raster. You want to get the OmegaA value at the bottom of the sea. Here is how I would do:
Make OmegaA raster to the same resolution and extent to the bathymetry one
Transforme the bathymetry raster into a raster brick of 33 three layers of 0-1. e.g. If the sea bottom is at 200m for one particular pixel, than this pixel on all depth layer other than 200 is 0 and 1 for the 200. To program this, I would go the long way, something like
:
r_1 <- r
values(r_1) <- values(r)==10 # where 10 is the depth (it could be a range with < or >)
r_2 <- r
values(r_2) <- values(r)==20
...
r_33 <- r
values(r_33) <- values(r)==250
r_brick <- brick(r_1, r_2, ..., r_33)
then you multiple both your raster bricks. They have the same dimension, it should be easy. The output should be a raster brick of 33 layers with 0 everywhere where it isn't the bottom of the sea and the value of OmegaA anywhere else.
Combine all the layer of the brick obtained previously into a simple raster with a sum.
This should work. If you have problem with dealing with raster brick, you could make the data into base R arrays, it could be simpler.
Good luck.

Consider these coordinates, these coordinates correspond to weather stations that measure rainfall data.
The intro to the gstat package in R uses the meuse dataset. At some point in this tutorial: https://rpubs.com/nabilabd/118172, the guys makes use of a "meuse.grid" in this line of code:
data("meuse.grid")
I do not have such a file and I do not know how to create it, can I create one using these coordinates? Or at least point me to material that discusses how to create a custom grid for a custom area (i.e not using administrative boundaries from GADM).
Probably wording this wrong, don't even know if this question makes sense to R savvy people. Still, would love to hear some direction, or at least tips. Thanks a lot!
Total noob at R and statistics.
EDIT: See the sample grid that the tutorial I posted looks like, that's the thing I want to make.
EDIT 2: Would this method be viable? https://rstudio-pubs-static.s3.amazonaws.com/46259_d328295794034414944deea60552a942.html
I am going to share my approach to create a grid for kriging. There are probably more efficient or elegant ways to achieve the same task, but I hope this will be a start to facilitate some discussions.
The original poster was thinking about 1 km for every 10 pixels, but that is probably too much. I am going to create a grid with cell size equals to 1 km * 1 km. In addition, the original poster did not specify an origin of the grid, so I will spend some time determining a good starting point. I also assume that the Spherical Mercator projection coordinate system is the appropriate choice for the projection. This is a common projection for Google Map or Open Street Maps.
1. Load Packages
I am going to use the following packages. sp, rgdal, and raster are packages provide many useful functions for spatial analysis. leaflet and mapview are packages for quick exploratory visualization of spatial data.
# Load packages
library(sp)
library(rgdal)
library(raster)
library(leaflet)
library(mapview)
2. Exploratory Visualization of the station locations
I created an interactive map to inspect the location of the four stations. Because the original poster provided the latitude and longitude of these four stations, I can create a SpatialPointsDataFrame with Latitude/Longitude projection. Notice the EPSG code for Latitude/Longitude projection is 4326. To learn more about EPSG code, please see this tutorial (https://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/~frazier/RSpatialGuides/OverviewCoordinateReferenceSystems.pdf).
# Create a data frame showing the **Latitude/Longitude**
station <- data.frame(lat = c(7.16, 8.6, 8.43, 8.15),
long = c(124.21, 123.35, 124.28, 125.08),
station = 1:4)
# Convert to SpatialPointsDataFrame
coordinates(station) <- ~long + lat
# Set the projection. They were latitude and longitude, so use WGS84 long-lat projection
proj4string(station) <- CRS("+init=epsg:4326")
# View the station location using the mapview function
mapview(station)
The mapview function will create an interactive map. We can use this map to determine what could be a suitable for the origin of the grid.
3. Determine the origin
After inspecting the map, I decided that the origin could be around longitude 123 and latitude 7. This origin will be on the lower left of the grid. Now I need to find the coordinate representing the same point under Spherical Mercator projection.
# Set the origin
ori <- SpatialPoints(cbind(123, 7), proj4string = CRS("+init=epsg:4326"))
# Convert the projection of ori
# Use EPSG: 3857 (Spherical Mercator)
ori_t <- spTransform(ori, CRSobj = CRS("+init=epsg:3857"))
I first created a SpatialPoints object based on the latitude and longitude of the origin. After that I used the spTransform to perform project transformation. The object ori_t now is the origin with Spherical Mercator projection. Notice that the EPSG code for Spherical Mercator is 3857.
To see the value of coordinates, we can use the coordinates function as follows.
coordinates(ori_t)
coords.x1 coords.x2
[1,] 13692297 781182.2
4. Determine the extent of the grid
Now I need to decide the extent of the grid that can cover all the four points and the desired area for kriging, which depends on the cell size and the number of cells. The following code sets up the extent based on the information. I have decided that the cell size is 1 km * 1 km, but I need to experiment on what would be a good cell number for both x- and y-direction.
# The origin has been rounded to the nearest 100
x_ori <- round(coordinates(ori_t)[1, 1]/100) * 100
y_ori <- round(coordinates(ori_t)[1, 2]/100) * 100
# Define how many cells for x and y axis
x_cell <- 250
y_cell <- 200
# Define the resolution to be 1000 meters
cell_size <- 1000
# Create the extent
ext <- extent(x_ori, x_ori + (x_cell * cell_size), y_ori, y_ori + (y_cell * cell_size))
Based on the extent I created, I can create a raster layer with number all equal to 0. Then I can use the mapview function again to see if the raster and the four stations matches well.
# Initialize a raster layer
ras <- raster(ext)
# Set the resolution to be
res(ras) <- c(cell_size, cell_size)
ras[] <- 0
# Project the raster
projection(ras) <- CRS("+init=epsg:3857")
# Create interactive map
mapview(station) + mapview(ras)
I repeated this process several times. Finally I decided that the number of cells is 250 and 200 for x- and y-direction, respectively.
5. Create spatial grid
Now I have created a raster layer with proper extent. I can first save this raster as a GeoTiff for future use.
# Save the raster layer
writeRaster(ras, filename = "ras.tif", format="GTiff")
Finally, to use the kriging functions from the package gstat, I need to convert the raster to SpatialPixels.
# Convert to spatial pixel
st_grid <- rasterToPoints(ras, spatial = TRUE)
gridded(st_grid) <- TRUE
st_grid <- as(st_grid, "SpatialPixels")
The st_grid is a SpatialPixels that can be used in kriging.
This is an iterative process to determine a suitable grid. Throughout the process, users can change the projection, origin, cell size, or cell number depends on the needs of their analysis.
#yzw and #Edzer bring up good points for creating a regular rectangular grid, but sometimes, there is the need to create an irregular grid over a defined polygon, usually for kriging.
This is a sparsely documented topic. One good answer can be found here. I expand on it with code below:
Consider the the built in meuse dataset. meuse.grid is an irregularly shaped grid. How do we make an grid like meuse.grid for our unique study area?
library(sp)
data(meuse.grid)
ggplot(data = meuse.grid) + geom_point(aes(x, y))
Imagine an irregularly shaped SpatialPolygon or SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, called spdf. You first build a regular rectangular grid over it, then subset the points in that regular grid by the irregularly-shaped polygon.
# First, make a rectangular grid over your `SpatialPolygonsDataFrame`
grd <- makegrid(spdf, n = 100)
colnames(grd) <- c("x", "y")
# Next, convert the grid to `SpatialPoints` and subset these points by the polygon.
grd_pts <- SpatialPoints(
coords = grd,
proj4string = CRS(proj4string(spdf))
)
# subset all points in `grd_pts` that fall within `spdf`
grd_pts_in <- grd_pts[spdf, ]
# Then, visualize your clipped grid which can be used for kriging
ggplot(as.data.frame(coordinates(grd_pts_in))) +
geom_point(aes(x, y))
If you have your study area as a polygon, imported as a SpatialPolygons, you could either use package raster to rasterize it, or use sp::spsample to sample it using sampling type regular.
If you don't have such a polygon, you can create points regularly spread over a rectangular long/lat area using expand.grid, using seq to generate a sequence of long and lat values.
I work with R to analyse satellite data from MODIS (file attached). I want to georeference my .image/.tif file using R. This is my script that I used:
library(raster)
x <- raster('bali_test.tif')
extent(x) <- c(114,115,-8,-7)
projection(x) <- CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS![enter image description here][1]84")
Unfortunately, when I plot it using levelplot and world map, it appears in the wrong position. The white area is land/island, and the black line is the Indonesian coastline
You must use the levelplot() function from the rasterVis package. The levelplot function you are using is not for raster matrix.
I am trying to convert a raster object to an .im object for use with a point process model in the spatstat package in R. I begin by creating the raster from a tiff file using the raster() package. No problems there. I then proceed by cropping the raster according to a given extent. Again, no problem there. I then specify a spatial window (owin) defined using the same extent. Still no problems. When I then proceed to the final step of converting the raster to the im object using as.im(), the function runs and the new im object is created, but it has somehow lost the pixel information that was contained in the original raster such that each pixel now has the same value in the im object. Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks very much.
The date file used is at this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n67djm3n0tfa6sx/MGVF_2001_30_arc_sec.tif?dl=0
And the R code is as follows:
library(raster)
library(spatstat)
# First set the geographic extent we'll be using
e <- extent(-20, 60, -40, 35)
# Then read in the Maximum Green Vegetation Fraction tiff and crop it
mgvf <- raster("MGVF_2001_30_arc_sec.tif")
mgvf.2001.africa <- crop(mgvf, e)
# Now let's create a window for in spatstat
SP.win <- as(e, "SpatialPolygons")
W <- as(SP.win, "owin")
# Finally, we create the .im object
mgvf.img <- as.im(X = "mgvf.2001.africa", W = W)
# Notice, there are no errors thrown. However, compare the plots below and see the loss of information:
plot(mgvf.2001.africa)
plot(mgvf.img)
Incidentally, I have tried the above as shown as well as trying to replace the NAs in the raster prior to converting to im. The result is the same. Thanks.
it's my first time using the spatstat package, so I would like some advice. I am attempting to plot coordinate data into a irregular polygon area (format .shp), to calculate spatial analysis like Ripley's K. How can I add an irregular polygon area as a plot? How can I merge the .ppp data from the coordinates into the polygon area?
I have used the following codes:
Converting the coordinate data to .ppp format
library(spatstat)
library(sp)
library(maptools)
tree.simu <- read.table("simulation.txt", h=T)
tree.simu.ppp <-ppp(x=tree.simu$X,y=tree.simu$Y,window=owin(c(min(tree.simu$X),max(tree.simu$X)),c(min(tree.simu$Y),max(tree.simu$Y))))
plot(tree.simu.ppp)
With this function I am considering the plot area as the max and min valeu of the coordinates. I would like to put the polygon boundary as the plot.
Ploting the irregular polygon area
area <- readShapePoly("Area/Fragment.shp")
plot(area)
plot(tree.simu.ppp, add=T)
or
points(tree.simu.ppp)
The package accept the last function but, when I try to plot both files together, seems like that the .shp file it is fill the whole area. I can't visualize the coordinates data.
Thank you, I really appreciate your help!
ps.: If you know any material with those question, please I would be happy to take a look
This is indeed due to inconsistent bounding boxes as conjectured in the comment by #jlhoward. Your points are in [273663.9, 275091.45] x [7718635, 7719267] while the polygon is contained in [-41.17483, -41.15588] x [-20.619647, -20.610134].
Assuming the coordinates were indeed consistent with the window the correct way way of getting it into a ppp object would be:
library(spatstat)
library(sp)
library(maptools)
area <- readShapePoly("Area/Fragment.shp")
area <- as(area, "owin")
tree.simu <- read.table("simulation.txt", h=T)
tree.simu.ppp <-ppp(x=tree.simu$X,y=tree.simu$Y,window=area)
However, you will get a warning about your points being rejected since they are outside the window, and the object will contain no points.
