Resample to best resolution

[rburghol]

• Convert all into final raster resolution
  • see prototype code under heading "Create Best Fit Raster Dataset" in sub-sections "Create a base raster for the model domain" and "Create a raster clipped to the coverage. " at Raster Mashups #55
  • Let's talk through the logic of doing this step last, ie., it could be beneficial from the standpoint of saving time/storage space, and also fitting into a work flow as a separate step. Or, it could be iniefficient given that evidence suggests that loadin rasters into memory for processing is a large part of processing time. see resampling performance testing results in section "Use Explicit Feature IDs to simplify query planner" of Tiling and raster performance #70
• Develop ability to export coverage raster data for a given day for external visulization. Follow instructions in "Export Sample Records as geotiff or ping" in Raster Mashups #55
  • We may put this into the analyze step of geo workflow, or even create a separate qa branch so as not to create too many visualizations, or even make a completely separate, non-flowable script.
• Finalize the above into robust, modular workflowable scripts
  • generate new hourly precip value for alternate raster dataset
  • run QA steps
