\title{Simulated global CO2 observations}
\description{
This is an example of moderately large spatial data set and consists of
simulated CO2 concentrations that are irregularly sampled from a lon/lat
grid. Also included is the complete CO2 field (CO2.true) used to generate the
synthetic observations.}
\usage{data(CO2) }
\format{
The format of \code{CO2} is a list with two components:
\itemize{
\item lon.lat: 26633x2 matrix of the longitude/latitude locations.
These are a subset of a larger lon/lat grid (see example below).
\item y: 26633 CO2 concentrations in parts per million.
}
The format of \code{CO2.true}
is a list in "image" format with components:
\itemize{
\item x longitude grid values.
\item y latitude grid values.
\item z an image matrix with CO2 concentration in parts per million
\item mask a logical image that indicates with grid locations were
selected for the synthetic data set \code{CO2}.
}
}
\details{
This data was generously provided by Dorit Hammerling and Randy Kawa as a
test example for the spatial analysis of remotely sensed (i.e.
satellite) and irregular observations. The synthetic data is based on a
true CO2 field simulated from a geophysical, numerical model.
