DESCRIPTION
t.rast.aggregate temporally aggregates space time raster datasets by a specific temporal
granularity. This module support absolute and relative time. The temporal granularity of
absolute time can be seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years. Mixing of
granularities eg. "1 year, 3 months 5 days" is not supported. In case of relative time the
temporal unit of the input space time raster dataset is used. The granularity must be
specified with an integer value.
This module is sensitive to the current region and mask settings, hence spatial extent and
spatial resolution. In case the registered raster maps of the input space time raster
dataset have different spatial resolutions, the default nearest neighbor resampling method
is used for runtime spatial aggregation.
NOTES
The raster module r.series is used internally. Hence all aggregate methods of r.series are
supported. See the r.series manual page for details.
This module will shift the start date for each aggregation process depending on the
provided temporal granularity. The following shifts will performed:
• granularity years: will start at the first of January, hence 14-08-2012 00:01:30
will be shifted to 01-01-2012 00:00:00
• granularity months: will start at the first day of a month, hence 14-08-2012 will
be shifted to 01-08-2012 00:00:00
• granularity weeks: will start at the first day of a week (Monday), hence
14-08-2012 01:30:30 will be shifted to 13-08-2012 01:00:00
• granularity days: will start at the first hour of a day, hence 14-08-2012 00:01:30
will be shifted to 14-08-2012 00:00:00
• granularity hours: will start at the first minute of a hour, hence 14-08-2012
01:30:30 will be shifted to 14-08-2012 01:00:00
• granularity minutes: will start at the first second of a minute, hence 14-08-2012
01:30:30 will be shifted to 14-08-2012 01:30:00
The specification of the temporal relation between the aggregation intervals and the
raster map layers is always formulated from the aggregation interval viewpoint. Hence, the
relation contains has to be specified to aggregate map layer that are temporally located
in an aggregation interval.
Parallel processing is supported in case that more than one interval is available for
aggregation computation. Internally several r.series modules will be started, depending on
the number of specified parallel processes (nprocs) and the number of intervals to
aggregate.
The flag -s allows storing a date as map name suffix rather than using consecutive
numbering. See the examples below for details.
EXAMPLES
Aggregation of monthly data into yearly data
In this example the user is going to aggregate monthly data into yearly data, running:
t.rast.aggregate input=tempmean_monthly output=tempmean_yearly \
basename=tempmean_year \
granularity="1 years" method=average
t.support input=tempmean_yearly \
title="Yearly precipitation" \
description="Aggregated precipitation dataset with yearly resolution"
