I have temperature data that has been interpolated to a regular lat/lon grid. I have one grid per day.
I want to be able to select points within a certain region, and within a certain time period.
Now, I could store each grid point as a separate record (a new row for every single point/time, with columns lat, lon, time, temperature), but since my grid is constant, there's a lot of redundancy there, no? Disk space is somewhat of a constraint, since there are a lot of files.
Basically, has anyone done any work with storing gridded spatial data? I see lot's of info on Geospatial data, but it's usually cities, stations, etc., not a regular grid that doesn't change...
I also noticed that PostGIS does not support raster data...
