Compute interpolated baseline and monthly grids (they are based on different station sets) and form anomaly?
Monthly and baseline, ??? If using computation method 2, we will already have these.
Initial discussion with FA seemed to indicate that he would like us to generate and store files of interpolated grids on the backend, as they have utility beyond display in this tool. ? Suggested arrangement is to generate one file per station, with a spatial grid per time
Alternatives:
Backend, on-demand. Compute grids from station data and serve on demand. No stored files. Params: variable, year, month.
Frontend. Compute grids from station data and display. Questions:
Is correct and efficient TPS code available in JS?
If not, how feasible would it be to develop in-house? Other benefits of doing so, i.e., other applications?
What datasets will be interpolated, and how?
Anomaly, yes. Compute how?
