cube_cell_area() derives rectangular cell bounds from explicit metadata or, for axes with at least two coordinates, from centre midpoints. Areas are computed geodesically with the sf s2 engine. No scientific cube values are read.

Usage

cube_cell_area(x, unit = c("m2", "km2"))

Arguments

x

An ocean_cube() with one-dimensional longitude and latitude axes.

unit

Output unit, either square metres ("m2") or square kilometres ("km2").

Value

A longitude-by-latitude numeric matrix with geometry provenance attributes.
