10 years ago - Move "Aggregate" to first option and rename to "Spatial Average".
- Help text should be: "Return one value / time series of the statistic for the area of interest based on average of all intersecting grid cells (area-weighted). Otherwise, statistic will be reported separately for each grid cell."
- Change "Select:" to "Select Statistic:"
- Change "--Please Select--" for the calculation dropdown to: "None (Raw Data Output)"
- Replace "Temporal Grouping" with a combo box. The "calc_grouping" value is in <>:
- (x) Daily Time Series "None"
- ( ) Monthly Time Series <['month']>
- ( ) Yearly Time Series <['year']>
- ( ) Montly Climatagology <['month','year']>
- ( ) Summarize Over Entire Time Range <'all'>

See suggestions from Seth:
If you look at the documentation for the CDO toolkit, it has similarly structured calculations, and I think it's got a pretty good naming strategy for dealing with the different temporal groupings/frequencies.

Section 2.8 has the names of all the different statistical operators. So I'd suggest making the UI look something like this:
No calculation (return raw data) (x) Perform calculation ( )
Temporal Summary: [ ]
Select Statistic: |average|
( ) monthly statistic (timeseries) ( ) seasonal statistic (timeseries) ( ) yearly statistic (timeseries) ( ) multi-year monthly statistic (climatology) ( ) multi-year seasonal statistic (climatology) (x) time range statistic (summarize over entire range)
Spatial Aggregation: |none| Combine subsetted geometries into a single overall value
(Other options for aggregation: area-weighted average, spatial minimum, spatial maximum, etc.)
Key:
() = radiobutton [] = checkbox |blah| = dropdown selector
(I'm not totally sold on the stuff in parentheses; once we get to the point of being able to do so, it would probably be more useful to indicate stuff like number of output values instead.)
