DESCRIPTION

The module t.vect.observe.strds is used to observe specific locations in a space time
raster dataset over a period of time using vector points. The first input is a vector map
layer with vector points. The second input is one or several space time raster datasets
(STRDS) that should be sampled over time at the vector point positions. The space time
raster dataset will be sampled over its whole temporal extent (from start to end). The
range can be adjusted using the temporal where condition t_where. A column name must be
specified for each input space time raster dataset.

As results a new space time vector dataset is generated that contains a single (new)
vector map that links to as many time stamped attribute tables as raster map layer are
present in the input space time raster dataset. Hence, for each time step in the space
time raster dataset a new attribute table is created. The GRASS GIS Temporal Framework
allows to time stamp attribute tables that can be linked to a single vector map layer.

The module v.what.rast is used internally for sampling the time stamped raster map layers.
All sampled values of a single time stamped raster map layer are written into a new time
stamped attribute table.

Use t.vect.db.select to print attribute values of the space time vector dataset to stdout.

EXAMPLE

The example show how to create a space time vector dataset and a vector layer starting
from a point vector and a space time raster dataset:
t.vect.observe.strds input=precip_30ynormals_3d strds=tempmean_monthly
output=precip_stations vect=precip_stations_monthly
columns=month
t.info precip_stations type=stvds
