The differences are so subtle (for example for Linke Turbdity) that maybe it doesn't make sense to have different data sets for different years. See also, for example the monthly sums of global irradiation on a horizontal surface (kWh/m2) period 1998-2011 from <http://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pvgis/download/data/hor_rad_PVGIS_cmsaf_monthly_latlon.zip>. They are just 12 maps. To get the average values, one needs to divide with... ? 30 for all months? Having absolute timestamps would make life easier with the fantastic temporal framework. I'll re-do again my workflow and decide upon a year. After all, I did extract the following for a specific year (don't remember which one it was now :-?): January|1|31|01 February|32|59|02 March|60|90|03 April|91|120|04 May|121|151|05 June|152|181|06 July|182|212|07 August|213|243|08 September|244|273|09 October|274|304|10 November|305|334|11 December|335|365|12 > However, you can create a second STDS with relative time, that > contains of 12 maps with the according time intervals (31 days, 28/29 > days, ...) and use t.rast.aggregate.ds to aggregate the first STRDS > based on the time intervals of the second STDS. That's cool! Danke vielmals Soeren. Nikos _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
