R: Interpolate Within a Topo Object

topoInterpolate {oce} | R Documentation

## Interpolate Within a Topo Object

### Description

Bilinear interpolation is used so that values will vary smoothly within a longitude-latitude grid cell. Note that the sign convention for `longitude` and `latitude` must match that in `topo`.

### Usage

    topoInterpolate(longitude, latitude, topo)

### Arguments

`longitude` | Vector of longitudes (in the same sign convention as used in `topo`).
`latitude` | Vector of latitudes (in the same sign convention as used in `topo`).
`topo` | A `topo` object, i.e. inheriting from `topo-class`.

### Value

Vector of heights giving the elevation of the earth above means sea level at the indicated location on the earth.
