I have extracted data at points (lat& lon) at irregular interval. Can a irregular grid be created from the extract dataframe? I do not intend to interpolate the data and keep as it is. I am getting an error trying to create a gridded dataset-
lon lat temp
1 8.5261 50.0223 293.40
2 78.4390 17.2290 295.90
3 8.6350 49.9290 282.88
spg <- df
coordinates(spg) <- ~ lon + lat
gridded(spg) <- TRUE
Error in points2grid(points, tolerance, round) : dimension 1 : coordinate intervals are not constant
We could round
the values
library(sp)
spg[1:2] <- lapply(spg[1:2], function(x) as.numeric(round(x)))
coordinates(spg) <- ~ lon + lat
gridded(spg) <- TRUE
-output
