nuts() returns the boundaries of the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS).

nuts_25N() returns the NUTS boundaries in the meter-based projection PTRA08 / UTM zone 25N, i.e. the NUTS area in the western-most part of the archipelago: Ilha das Flores and Ilha do Corvo.

nuts_26N() returns the NUTS boundaries in the meter-based projection PTRA08 / UTM zone 26N, i.e. the NUTS area in the Central and Eastern groups of the archipelago.

Usage

nuts(crs = laea_azores_proj())

nuts_25N()

nuts_26N()

Arguments
