Generate Time Aggregation Expression for Environmental Data

Creates a SQL-based expression for temporal aggregation of environmental time series using DuckDB date functions. Used internally by prep_ts_env.

expr_time_env(ts_res)

Arguments

ts_res

Character string specifying temporal resolution: "year", "quarter", "month", "day", "year_quarter", "year_month", or "year_day"

Value

Expression object suitable for use in dplyr::mutate() with dbplyr

Details

For seasonal aggregation (ts_res = "quarter"), all quarters are normalized to year 2000 to enable cyclic plotting. Uses DuckDB's date_trunc() and extract() functions for database-side computation.

df_env |> mutate(time = !!expr_time_env("year"))
} # }
