DESCRIPTION

       The input of this module is a single space time raster dataset, the output is a single raster map  layer.
       A  subset  of  the input space time raster dataset can be selected using the where option. The sorting of
       the raster map layer can be set using the order  option.  Be  aware  that  the  order  of  the  maps  can
       significantly  influence  the result of the aggregation (e.g.: slope). By default the maps are ordered by
       start_time.

       t.rast.series is a simple wrapper for the raster module r.series. It supports a subset of the aggregation
       methods of r.series.

EXAMPLES

   Estimate the average temperature for the whole time series
       Here the entire stack of input maps is considered:
       t.rast.series input=tempmean_monthly output=tempmean_average method=average

   Estimate the average temperature for a subset of the time series
       Here the stack of input maps is limited to a certain period of time:
       t.rast.series input=tempmean_daily output=tempmean_season method=average \
         where="start_time >= ’2012-06’ and start_time <= ’2012-08’"

   Climatology: single month in a multi-annual time series
       By  considering  only  a  single  month  in  a  multi-annual time series the so-called climatology can be
       computed.  Estimate average temperature for all January maps in the time series:
       t.rast.series input=tempmean_monthly \
           method=average output=tempmean_january \
           where="strftime(’%m’, start_time)=’01’"
       # equivalently, we can use
       t.rast.series input=tempmean_monthly \
           output=tempmean_january method=average \
           where="start_time = datetime(start_time, ’start of year’, ’0 month’)"
       # if we want also February and March averages
       t.rast.series input=tempmean_monthly \
           output=tempmean_february method=average \
           where="start_time = datetime(start_time, ’start of year’, ’1 month’)"
       t.rast.series input=tempmean_monthly \
           output=tempmean_march method=average \
           where="start_time = datetime(start_time, ’start of year’, ’2 month’)"
       Generalizing a bit, we can estimate monthly climatologies for all months by means of different methods
       for i in `seq -w 1 12` ; do
         for m in average stddev minimum maximum ; do
           t.rast.series input=tempmean_monthly method=${m} output=tempmean_${m}_${i} \
           where="strftime(’%m’, start_time)=’${i}’"
         done
       done
