Covariate column names in an environmental data object

Everything that is not a time column, the geometry, or bookkeeping.

Usage

covariate_columns(env_dat)

Arguments

env_dat

an sf POINT object from any access function - accessCopernicus(), accessFVCOM(), accessHYCOM(), accessCCMP() or accessERDDAP()

Value

character vector of covariate column names

Details

<var>_source columns are included. They are provenance, but they travel with the variable they describe: upscale_grid() and upscale_time() carry a non-numeric column as a categorical, so a resampled object keeps the record of which source each value came from. <var>_depth is excluded, because the mean of two depths is not the depth any value came from.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
covariate_columns(env)
} # }
