Smart Tool for Source Layer Aggregation and Intersection

Climate raster data, soil awc and depth data (raster or features), and crop/parcel data have different spatial representation. The intersection of each of these layers are potential unique run of simulation.

There is an interest to limit the number of intersections to limit the number of model runs.

One strategy can be to:

• set one or more prioritary layers on which each polygon or raster pixel should be kept
• compute intersection of prioritary layers keeping each intersections
• compute intersection/aggregation of other layers sticking on the features contained in the priority layers intersections and compute for each feature:
  • weighted mean:
  • weighted standard deviation
• If the standard deviation of the aggregated feature exceeds a custom threshold, then the tool should keep the intersection of the two layers on this particular aggregated feature.
