Calculate elevation in PRIO-GRID format with set variable

Estimates either the min, max, or mean of elevation in each PRIO-GRID cell based on vector data from GMTED2010.

Usage

ruggedterrain_variable(variable)

Arguments

variable

Character string indicating elevation function. Must be one of: "elevation_min", "elevation_max", "elevation_mean"

Value

A SpatRaster object containing elevation values for each PRIO-GRID cell

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Get mean elevation for each PRIO-GRID cell
mean_elev <- ruggedterrain_variable(variable = "elevation_mean")

# Get minimum elevation for each PRIO-GRID cell
min_elev <- ruggedterrain_variable(variable = "elevation_min")

# Get maximum elevation for each PRIO-GRID cell
max_elev <- ruggedterrain_variable(variable = "elevation_max")
} # }
