The data cubes are saved as GeoTIFFs, which don't allow for band labels. For convenience, this function labels the layers of a data cube once it has been loaded with the week dates for each band.
label_raster_stack(x, weeks = NULL)RasterStack or RasterBrick; eBird Status and Trends data cube,
typically with 52 bands, one for each week.
vector of dates corresponding to the weeks of each layer in x.
This argument should be used only rarely, when you're labelling a cube with
fewer that the usual 52 weeks of predictions.
A RasterStack or RasterBrick with names assigned for the dates in
the format of "wYYYY.MM.DD" per raster package constraints. The Raster*
objects do not allow the names to start with a number, nor are they allowed
to contain "-", so it is not possible to store the date in an ISO compliant
format. Use parse_raster_dates() to convert the layer names to dates.
