Extracting data of two overlapping rasters - r

I am trying extract the data of two overlapping set of rasters (one, a stack of 35 rasters, all from the same source and the second an elevation raster) to get a data.frame of the values (mean of the values) of each pixel of all the rasters.
The description of the raster stack is the following:
> stack_pacifico
class : RasterStack
dimensions : 997, 709, 706873, 35 (nrow, ncol, ncell, nlayers)
resolution : 0.008333333, 0.008333333 (x, y)
extent : -81.62083, -75.7125, 0.3458336, 8.654167 (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
coord. ref. : +proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0
names : F101992.v//ts.avg_vis, F101993.v//ts.avg_vis, F101994.v//ts.avg_vis, F121994.v//ts.avg_vis, F121995.v//ts.avg_vis, F121996.v//ts.avg_vis, F121997.v//ts.avg_vis, F121998.v//ts.avg_vis, F121999.v//ts.avg_vis, F141997.v//ts.avg_vis, F141998.v//ts.avg_vis, F141999.v//ts.avg_vis, F142000.v//ts.avg_vis, F142001.v//ts.avg_vis, F142002.v//ts.avg_vis, ...
min values : 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
max values : 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, ...
And for the elevation raster:
> elevation_pacifico
class : RasterLayer
dimensions : 997, 709, 706873 (nrow, ncol, ncell)
resolution : 0.008333333, 0.008333333 (x, y)
extent : -81.62083, -75.7125, 0.3458336, 8.654167 (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
coord. ref. : +proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0
data source : in memory
names : COL_msk_alt
values : -16, 5164 (min, max)
It is my first time with raster data and I want to extract the data by grids of 1km2 (or less). I know the resolution of both rasters can be coerced to fit into that area requirement, also both dimensions are equal, so the number of pixels per raster is the same.
My question is, can I only merge all the rasters (the ones in the stack and the elevation raster) and extract the data with the confidence that all the pixels overlap (or are in the same place)? Or do I have to create a master SpatialGrid or SpatialPixel object and then extract the raster data to these objects?
Thanks in advance,
Data from the raster stack can be downloaded by clicking at this link (if you want to download all the stack, you can use the script in https://github.com/ivanhigueram/nightlights):
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/eog/data/web_data/v4composites/
Elevation:
#Download country map and filter by pacific states
colombia_departments <- getData("GADM", download=T, country="CO", level=1)
pacific_littoral <- c(11, 13, 21, 30)
pacific_littoral_map <- colombia_departments[colombia_departments#data$ID_1 %in% pacific_littoral, ]
#Download elevation data and filter it for pacific states
elevation <- getData("alt", co="COL")
elevation_pacifico <- crop(elevation, pacific_littoral_map)
elevation_pacifico <- setExtent(elevation_pacifico, rasters_extent)

If the resolutions, extents and coordinate systems of the two raster objects are identical, then the cells will overlap perfectly. You can confirm this by looking at the coordinates:
coordinates(stack_pacifico)
coordinates(elevation_pacifico)
# are they the same?
identical(coordinates(stack_pacifico), coordinates(elevation_pacifico))
You can extract all cell values for each object using one of the following:
as.data.frame(r)
values(r)
r[]
extract(r, seq_len(ncell(r)))
where r is your raster object.
(These do not all have consistent behaviour for single raster layers - as.data.frame(r) ensures the result is a data.frame, which would have a single column if r is a single raster layer; in contrast the alternatives would return a simple vector if used with a single raster layer.)
The rows of as.data.frame(stack_pacifico) correspond to cells at the same coordinates as do the rows of as.data.frame(elevation_pacifico) (or, equivalently, the elements ofvalues(elevation_pacifico)`).

Or do this:
s <- stack(elevation_pacifico, stack_pacifico)
d <- values(s)

Set the right coordinate system for SpatRaster in terra

I want to map species occurrences and sampling stations on an IBCSO map using the package terra in R. I have my sampling points as latitude, longitude. I don't know how I should define the coordinate system. If I plot my coordinates they all cuddle together at the center of the map. I guess the extend values have to be adjusted. How can I do that without distorting the map?

You have coordinates in lon/lat and want to match these to the raster data.
Example data
library(terra)
x <- rast(nrow=19200, ncol=19200, ext=c(-4800000, 4800000, -4800000, 4800000), crs="EPSG:9354")
lon <- 1:10
lat <- -(77:86)
Solution
v <- vect(cbind(lon, lat), crs="+proj=longlat")
p <- project(v, crs(x))

Error calculating area of raster with lat/lon projection

I have a global raster stack (of three rasters) whose pixel values are the percent of a land use for that pixel. Here's the raster metadata:
class : RasterBrick
dimensions : 3600, 7200, 25920000, 3 (nrow, ncol, ncell, nlayers)
resolution : 1, 1 (x, y)
extent : 0, 7200, 0, 3600 (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
crs : +proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs
source : grass_baseline.tif
names : grass_2020, grass_2040, grass_2100
I'm trying to calculate the total area of land use in each pixel by multiplying the pixel value by the area of the raster, using the area() function in the raster package.
When I do that, I get the following error:
Warning message:
In .couldBeLonLat(x, warnings = warnings) :
raster has a longitude/latitude CRS, but coordinates do not match that
Here's the metadata for the area raster:
class : RasterLayer
dimensions : 3600, 7200, 25920000 (nrow, ncol, ncell)
resolution : 1, 1 (x, y)
extent : 0, 7200, 0, 3600 (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
crs : +proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs
source : memory
names : layer
values : -710.0924, 2211922 (min, max)
Does anyone have any insight into what might be going on?
In case it's relevant, I assembled this raster stack from a few .nc files that I read into R with the ncdf4 package and converted to rasters with the following line of code:
raster(first_nc, xmn=0, xmx=7200, ymn=0, ymx=3600, crs=CRS("+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs+ towgs84=0,0,0")
I then combined several of these rasters together as a stack and exported using the stars package (to preserve the names of each raster):
stack <- stack(first_nc,second_nc,third_nc)
names(stack) <- c('first_nc','second_nc','third_nc')
stars::write_stars(stars::st_as_stars(stack), "stack.tif")
I then read the .tif into a separate script, which is where I'm trying to calculate the area.
You have
#extent : 0, 7200, 0, 3600 (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
#crs : +proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs
That is, a latitude between 0 and 3600 degrees. That makes no sense as you cannot go beyond 90 degrees N and it is thus not possible to compute area for these cells. And the specified longitude is not likely to be correct either, unless your data really covers the globe 20 times.
I assembled this raster stack from a few .nc files that I read into R with the ncdf4 package and converted to rasters
That is not a good approach (unless all else fails), and explains the odd extent. What you should try first is
library(raster)
s <- stack(filenames)
Or better use the terra package (the replacement of raster)
library(terra)
s <- rast(filenames)
It should not be necessary, but if you are going to set the extent yourself, more plausible values would be (-180, 180, -90, 90), or (0, 360, -90, 90).

How to run different formula on different layers in R

I downloaded worlclim/BIO climatic data which has 16 layers. 1-11 layers of which are temperature data. Rests are precipitation data. When I checked document, I should convert unit of temperature data by different conversion factors. 1-2,4-11 layers should be divided by 10 to convert degree celcius and 3-4 layers by 100. To do this, I wrote following code:
temp1<-clim[[1:2]]/10
temp2 <-clim[[5:11]]/10
temp3<-clim[[3:4]]/100
Stack them back according to the same order as they were in original data:
clim <-stack(temp1,temp3,temp2)
My question is how to calculate different formula on different layer and stack them back to original order? I want to know another way to do these steps.
Thank you!
Easist way could be to define a vector of "dividing factors" and then simply divide the stack by that vector. In this way, you do not need to put the bands in the "original" order:
library(raster)
a <- raster::raster(ncols = 10, nrows = 10)
a <- raster::init(a, runif)
# create a stack
b <- raster::stack(a,a,a,a,a,a)
# define vector of dividing factors
divs <- c(1,1,10,10,100,100)
# compute
c <- b / divs
c

resampled raster values out of range

I would like to resample a high resolution raster to a coarser resolution, but in such a way that the maximum values of cells are retained for the coarser grid cells.
As there is no fun argument in the resample function in R's raster package, I have put together a simply custom function:
resampleCustom <- function(r1, r2) {
resRatio <- as.integer(res(r2) / res(r1))
ret <- aggregate(r1, fact = resRatio, fun = max)
if (!compareRaster(ret, r2, stopiffalse = FALSE)) {
ret <- resample(ret, r2, method = 'bilinear')
}
return(ret)
}
Basically, I use aggregate, where I can provide a custom function, to get close to the target raster, and then I use resample to apply some final adjustments.
I applied this to a raster that represents the projected distribution of a species of fish (where cell values represent suitability scores ranging from 0 to 1), and the odd thing is that the resulting raster has values that are greater than the max values in the original rasters.
The two rasters can be downloaded here and here.

The max value is 1.2, but how can this be when the bilinear method should essentially be taking averages of cell values? I would expect all values of the resulting raster to be within the bounds of the original raster values.
The extreme values are for cells at the edge of the raster, where values are extrapolated, as there are no neighbors at one side. This shows where these values are:
x <- resampleCustom(sp, template)
a <- xyFromCell(x, which.max(x))
b <- xyFromCell(x, which.min(x))
plot(x)
points(a)
points(b)
Or
plot(Which(x < 0))
plot(Which(round(x, 15) > 0))
To remove these extreme values, you can use raster::clamp.
xc <- clamp(x, 0, 1)
By the way, what you do, first aggregate then resampling, is also what is done within raster::resample.
The fundamental problem is that your high-res raster data do not line up with the low resolution aggregation you are seeking. That suggests a mistake earlier on in your work flow. The best way to avoid this problem is probably to make the habitat suitability predictions with predictor raster data that are aligned with the high resolution raster. You perhaps did not consider that when you projected the predictor variables to +proj=cea?

Can't change raster's extent

I want to crop an elevation raster to add it to a raster stack. It's easy, I did this before smoothly, adding a ecoregions raster to the same stack. But with the elevation one, just doesn't work. Now, there are several questions here in overflow adressing this issue and I tryed a lot of things...
First of all, we need this:
library(rgdal)
library(raster)
My stack is predictors2:
#Downloading the stack
predictors2_full<-getData('worldclim', var='bio', res=10)
#Cropping it, I don' need the whole world
xmin=-120; xmax=-35; ymin=-60; ymax=35
limits <- c(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
predictors2 <- crop(predictors2_full,limits)
Then I've downloaded the terr_ecorregions shapefile here: http://maps.tnc.org/files/shp/terr-ecoregions-TNC.zip
setwd("~/ORCHIDACEAE/Ecologicos/w2/layers/terr-ecoregions-TNC")
ecoreg = readOGR("tnc_terr_ecoregions.shp") # I've loaded...
ecoreg2 <- crop(ecoreg,extent(predictors2)) # cropped...
ecoreg2 <- rasterize(ecoreg2, predictors2) # made the shapefile a raster
predictors4<-addLayer(predictors2,elevation,ecoreg2) # and added the raster
# to my stack
With elevation, I just can't. The Digital elevation model is based in GMTED2010, which can be downloaded here: http://edcintl.cr.usgs.gov/downloads/sciweb1/shared/topo/downloads/GMTED/Grid_ZipFiles/mn30_grd.zip
elevation<-raster("w001001.adf") #I've loaded
elevation<-crop(elevation,predictors2) # and cropped
But elevation gets a slightly different extent instead of predictors2's extent:
> extent(elevation)
class : Extent
xmin : -120.0001
xmax : -35.00014
ymin : -60.00014
ymax : 34.99986
>
I tried to make then equal by all means I read about in questions here...
I tried to extend so elevation's ymax would meet predictors2's ymax
elevation<-extend(elevation,predictors2) #didn't work, extent remains the same
I tried the opposite... making predictors2 extent meet elevation's extent... nothing either.
But then I read that
You might not want to play with setExtent() or extent() <- extent(), as you could end with wrong geographic coordinates of your rasters - #ztl, Jun 29 '15
And I tried to get the minimal common extent of my rasters, following #zlt answer in another extent question, by doing this
# Summing your rasters will only work where they are not NA
r123 = r1+r2+r3 # r123 has the minimal common extent
r1 = crop(r1, r123) # crop to that minimal extent
r2 = crop(r2, r123)
r3 = crop(r3, r123)
For that, first I had to set the resolutions:
res(elevation)<-res(predictors2) #fixing the resolutions... This one worked.
But then, r123 = r1+r2+r didn't work:
> r123=elevation+ecoreg2+predictors2
Error in elevation + ecoreg2 : first Raster object has no values
Can anyone give me a hint on this? I really would like to add my elevation to the raster. Funny thing is, I have another stack named predictors1 with the exact same elevation's extent... And I was able to crop ecoreg and add ecoreg to both predictors1 and predictors2... Why can't I just do the same to elevation?
I'm quite new to this world and runned out of ideas... I appreciate any tips.
EDIT: Solution, Thanks to #Val
I got to this:
#Getting the factor to aggregate (rasters are multiples of each other)
res(ecoreg2)/res(elevation)
[1] 20 20 #The factor is 20
elevation2<-aggregate(elevation, fact=20)
elevation2 <- crop(elevation2,extent(predictors2))
#Finally adding the layer:
predictors2_eco<-addLayer(predictors2,elevation2,ecoreg)
New problem, thought...
I can't write stack to a geotiff
writeRaster(predictors2_eco, filename="cropped_predictors2_eco.tif", options="INTERLEAVE=BAND", overwrite=TRUE)
Error in .checkLevels(levs[[j]], value[[j]]) :
new raster attributes (factor values) should be in a data.frame (inside a list)
I think you're having issues because you're working with rasters of different spatial resolutions. So when you crop both rasters to the same extent, they'll have a slightly different actual extent because of that.
So if you want to stack rasters, you need to get them into the same resolution. Either you disaggregate the raster with the coarser resolution (i.e. increase the resolution by resampling or other methods) or you aggregate the raster with the higher resolution (i.e. decrease the resolution with for instance taking the mean over n pixel).
Please note that if you change the extent or resolution with setExtent(x), extent(x) <-, res(x) <- or similar will NOT work, since you're just changing slots in the raster object, not the actual underlying data.
So to bring the rasters into a common resolution, you need to change the data. You can use the functions (amongst others) aggregate, disaggregate and resample for that purpose. But since you're changing data, you need to be clear on what you're and the function you use is doing.
The most handy way for you should be resample, where you can resample a raster to another raster so they match in extent and resolution. This will be done using a defined method. Per default it's using nearest neighbor for computing the new values. If you're working with continuous data such as elevation, you might want to opt for bilinear which is bilinear interpolation. In this case you're actually creating "new measurements", something to be aware of.
If your two resolutions are multiples of each other, you could look into aggregate and disaggregate. In the case of disaggregate you would split a rastercell by a factor to get a higher resolution (e.g. if your first resolution is 10 degrees and your desired resolution is 0.05 degrees, you could disaggregate with a factor of 200 giving you 200 cells of 0.05 degree for every 10 degree cell). This method would avoid interpolation.
