Parameters:

input=name [required]
Name of the input space time raster dataset

DESCRIPTION

t.rast.aggregate.condition aggregates raster maps within a space time raster dataset (STRDS) using an r.mapcalc expression. It is written oriented on t.rast.aggregate and provides many of the same options, to control naming of the output raster maps, like: basename, offset, suffix

Which and how many maps are aggregated can be controled using the granularity and sampling options.

t.rast.aggregate.condition applies a mask (given in mask_label) while selecting values from raster maps with the given aggregation_labels using a condition raster map (given in the condition_label option). For aggregation, those pixels in the aggregation_labels raster maps are selected, where the pixels in the temporally corresponding (=equal) raster maps with the condition_label meet the aggregate_condition.

The module assumes and requires that the input STRDS is equipped with semantic_labels. semantic_labels are used to compile mapcalculator expressions for each ganule and temporal extent selected for the given granule.

Per granule, one raster map is produced for the condition_label, aggregated with the aggregate_condition, plus one map for each of the aggregation_labels. Semantic labels for the output raster maps are condition_label_aggregate_condition for the aggregated condition_label maps and aggregation_label for all aggregated maps from the aggregation_labels.

The use case t.rast.aggregate.condition is written for is to be able to aggregate satellite imagery in space and time, where cloudy pixels are excluded and only selected values are propagated to the output maps. A concrete example, is to aggregate Fractional Sow Cover maps from Sentinel-3 where pixels with the lowes solar angle are selected and a cloud mask is applied at the same time.

Both input and output of this module is a single space time raster dataset. A subset of the input space time raster dataset can be selected using the where option. In addition, input maps can be filtered spatially using the region_relation option.

The resulting raster maps can also be registered into an existing Space Time Raster Dataset if the e-flag and --overwrite flags are set.

EXAMPLE

The example uses the North Carolina extra time series of MODIS Land Surface Temperature maps (download). (The mapset has to be unzip in one of the North Carolina locations.)

Patching the MODIS Land Surface Temperature for 2016 (filling missing pixels by subsequent maps in the time series):

t.rast.aggregate.condition input=Sentinel_3_SLSTR_FSC output=Sentinel_3_SLSTR_FSC_daily \
  --overwrite --verbose -e mask_label=S3_SLSTR_cloud_mask mask_value=0 \
  condition_label=S3_solar_zenith aggregate_condition=nmin \
  aggregation_labels=S3_SLSTR_fractional_snow_cover \
  granularity="1 day" basename=S3_SLSTR_FSC \
  title="Sentinel-3 SLSTR FSC daily" \
  description="Daily Fractional Snow Cover measurements from Seninel-3 SLSTR instrument" \
  region_relation=contains \
  where="start_time >= '2023-01' and start_time <= '2023-12'" \
  nprocs=8
t.info Sentinel_3_SLSTR_FSC
