MaskLand(lon, lat, mask = "world", wrap = c(0, 360))

## Arguments

lon a vector of longitudes in degrees in 0-360 format a vector of latitudes in degrees the name of the dataset (that will be load with map) for creating the mask the longitude range to be used for a global mask

## Value

A logical vector of the same length as lat and lon where TRUE means that the point is inside one of the polygons making up the map. For a global map (the default), this means that the point is over land.

## Examples


mask <- temperature[lev == 1000, .(lon = lon, lat = lat, land = MaskLand(lon, lat))]
temperature <- temperature[mask, on = c("lon", "lat")]

# Take the temperature difference between land and ocean
diftemp <- temperature[,
.(tempdif = mean(air[land == TRUE]) - mean(air[land == FALSE])),
by = .(lat, lev)]
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(diftemp, aes(lat, lev)) +
geom_contour(aes(z = tempdif, color = ..level..)) +
