Question about trasport time calculation
Hi, If your question is how to compute (more or less) exact distances from the lon/lat coordinates, you can try the dist* functions from the package geosphere. HTH. Zivan

Hi,
Is it possible to calculate the transport time (of a particle) between 2
coordinates using wind speed and distance?
I know I can't simply apply Velocity = Distance/time over here because
coordinates have different angles (lat, lon).
So, could anyone provide some thoughts on it?
I have some coordinates e.g.
location 1(64.8, -147.7)
location 2(64.8, -149.5)
location 3(66.2, -150.0)
the distance between (2 and 1) coordinates are ~ 35 km
the distance between (3 and 1) coordinates are ~ 133 km
the wind speed over (1, 2) coordinates is ~ 6 m/s
the wind speed over (1,3) coordinates is ~ 2 m/s
So, how much time will be taken by a particle from locations 2 and 3 to
location 1 with the given distance and wind speed?
Thanks
