Hi,
I am trying to clip or do any other calculations on a raster stack with 365 rasters with a given extent. However, i keep getting the following error.
A side note- This raster stack is saved as ?.tif" and was generated using the whittaker.raster function from the MODIS package. I am unable to do any further progress on this stack due to this error.
