Cell area at a given resolution — a5_cell

Returns the area of a single cell in square metres at the given resolution(s). Because A5 is an equal-area DGGS, all cells at the same resolution have identical area.

Usage

a5_cell_area(resolution, units = "m^2")

Arguments

resolution: Integer vector of resolutions (0–30).
units: Character scalar specifying the output area unit (default "m^2"). Any unit convertible from m^2 via units::set_units() is accepted (e.g. "km^2", "ha", "acre").

Value

A units::units vector of areas.
