[R-sig-Geo] How to download individual layer from MODIS Package using runGdal‏

[Waseem Ali]

Hi,I am recently working on downloading modis product called "MOD13Q1" EVI scientific data set starting from 2001 to 2004 time series data. Downloading individual data from lpdaac is daunting task. With a little effort I came across using MODIS R package to download bunch of data in a sequential fashion. The following is my code for single scene:library(MODIS)dates <- as.POSIXct( as.Date(c("01/05/2014"),format = "%d/%m/%Y") )
dates2 <- transDate(dates[1]) # Transform input dates from before 
h = "23"v = "05"runGdal(product = "MOD13Q1", begin=dates2$beginDOY,end = dates2$endDOY,tileH = h,tileV = v)My question is that Is that possible i can add layer information despite to fully download hdf (including 12 layers). I just need 2 layers that will reduce my time to download full product.Waseem Ali
