Work on this issue is in progress with the following decisions:

This feature would allow the user to output results at a lower spatial resolution than the ISRM grid. A few things need to be considered:

  • What geographies would we allow aggregation at? To start, just do the ones that are already created (county, air district, air basin)

For now, only allowing the ones already created (county, air district, and air basin). A future issue could add the ability to input a custom geography via shapefile.

  • The percentile plot doesn't work as well for an aggregated dataset since there are fewer cells. Can the tool output a bar chart or distribution plot or something instead?

For now, the percentile plot will stay as the main output using the ISRM grid cells to generate. Future updates should consider an additional output figure for disparity.

  • How does it handle when someone requests a spatial aggregation and smaller export region (e.g., Air Basin aggregation but Alameda county export)?

The tool will check the control file with the following logic:
