Spatiotemporal Raster Data

12.1 Introduction

A space-time raster dataset is a collection of raster layers indexed by time, or in other words, a time series of raster maps. The raster package defines the classes RasterStack and RasterBrick to build multilayer rasters. The index of the collection can be set with the function setZ (which is not restricted to time indexes). The rasterVis packages provide several methods to display space-time rasters.

12.1.1 Data

Throughout this chapter we will work with a multilayer raster of daily solar radiation estimates from CM SAF (section 10.3) falling in the region of Galicia (north of Spain) during 2011. These data are arranged in a RasterBrick with 365 layers using brick and time indexed with ...
