Make minimum and maximum watershed elevation datasets #143

Closed corviday closed 3 years ago

The climate explorer backend calculates the Melton Ratio, which is the change in elevation over a watershed divided by the square root of the area of the watershed. We've been calculating this with a dataset containing the average elevation for each grid cell, but this is producing inaccurate results. What we need are datasets containing the minimum and maximum elevations for each grid cell.

Hopefully cdo has a command to do this easily, it seems like the sort of thing they would support.

@AreliaTW has an idea for how to proceed with this, so she is working on it.

Arelia has finished with these maps! They will need to be formatted for the backend.

Data has been formatted for the backend and indexed.
