Discuss implementation strategy (tentatively 16:00 on Monday) #306

First, understand how spatial units and data are currently processed

How does EC process spatial units and data?

Where does preparation of units happen? NUTS and GADM are downloaded and prepared.

How does SCEC process spatial units and data?

Tentative plan:

Set a NUTS year convention After data cleaning, in every instance, disaggregate timeseries or scalars to NUTS3 Later, aggregate. Mapping from NUTS3 to Ehighways is easy (up to differences caused by different NUTS years)

This might be useful: The commit contains functions that map from EUROSTAT statistical data to NUTS units. https://github.com/calliope-project/euro-calliope/commit/e995c25318f7d20e31345b925cfc15638fbb473b#diff-94359c59da328aa237ab2d75320a84c6343fe4954a4169910fd9e0d376dc42eb

Plan

The goal is this: The workflow preprocesses all raw spatial data that is to be used later at sub-national resolution into clean raster data. This preprocessed data can then be aggregated in the next step to any custom resolution (e.g. regional, E-highways, some custom resolution that is high-res for one country and more coarse for another).
