output=name [required]: Name of the output space time raster dataset
basename=string [required]: Basename of the new generated output maps; Either a numerical suffix or the start time (s-flag) separated by an underscore will be attached to create a unique identifier
suffix=string: Suffix to add at basename: set 'gran' for granularity, 'time' for the full time format, 'num' for numerical suffix with a specific number of digits (default %05); Default: gran
granularity=string [required]: Aggregation granularity, format absolute time "x years, x months, x weeks, x days, x hours, x minutes, x seconds" or an integer value for relative time

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.

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"
