Updates to run 12 months of mean daily precipitation using a variety of models. Includes using gamm() to incorporate spatial effects in addition to the smooth parameters. Not all clean and cozy yet, uploading as a work-in-progress...

Further updates to interpolation procedures including:

1) bugfix in MOD06_L2_data_compile. Root access is needed to run swtif in its current directory (bad design!).
2) Switched to UTM output from swtif (from sinusoidal) becuase it looked like gdal was struggling with integerized sinusoidal...

Modified GAM.R interpolation script to 1) simplify validation results, 2) add full prediction (rather than just stations) and 3) some other (hopefully) simplifications and improvements.

Updated GHCN_stations script to:

1) draw station location information from postgres database and perform merge/join query within database rather than r
2) add function to buffer region of interest to include stations outside region (to minimize edge effects)

Merging with bp/interp to use some of Benoit's code for precip interpolation

Merge branch 'bp/interp' into aw/precip

MOD06 processing runs well in sequence, but not parallel

Reorganization: moved mindmap to it's own directory to isolate temporary files created when exporting to other formats

Add initial version of the 'mind map' for the interpolation project. This file contains an outline of the various stages of the project and links back to issues and code in the blessed repository.
Created during Benoit's visit to Yale May 21-22.

Adding some MOD06 (cloud product) processing routines. Still a work in progress

Initial commit

Added 3 new models and nesting to GAM, task #361

Changes in the diagnostics plots, barplots.

Transform aspect in Eastness and Northness variables in the GAM.

Transformed the aspect variable and added GAM model closer to PRISM
