If I follow your point Regina (as far as the working daily query
goes), I am returning data for a particular site based on the last
line... WHERE w.station_id = some_valid_number.
Did I miss something?

Wouldn't you want to return the average for month for that
particular site? None of your month subselects seem to group by
station id. Would seem to me logically you should add station_id
to each of your subselects, group by station_id as well as month
and then your ON clause would be month and station_id.
Hope that helps,
Regina

Subject: [postgis-users] monthly climate query
I need some help with rewriting a query. I have a query that dumps
daily climate data, filling in missing data with monthly averages
(one line per day).
I want to output monthly averages (one line per month). I am having
a hard time wrapping my head around this. Particularly how to deal
with the doy column (day of year). I have tried several approaches
and my forehead is starting to get my keyboard bloody.
Here is the daily query:
SELECT CASE
WHEN w.station_id = site_near.station_id THEN w.obs_id
ELSE s.obs_id
END AS obs_id,
site_near.station_id,
site_near.longname,
w.year,
w.doy,
--replace missing values (-999) with the monthly average
CASE w.tmax
WHEN -999 THEN avgtmax.avg
ELSE w.tmax
END,
CASE w.tmin
WHEN -999 THEN avgtmin.avg
ELSE w.tmin
END,
CASE s.par
WHEN -999 THEN avgpar.avg
ELSE s.par
END,
CASE w.precip
WHEN -999 THEN avgprecip.avg
ELSE w.precip
END
FROM site_near
INNER JOIN solar s
ON (site_near.ref_solar_station_id = s.station_id
AND site_near.obs_year = s.year)
INNER JOIN weather w
ON (site_near.ref_weather_station_id = w.station_id
AND site_near.obs_year = w.year
AND s.date = w.date)
INNER JOIN (SELECT MONTH,
round(avg(tmax)::numeric, 2) AS avg
FROM weather
WHERE tmax != -999
GROUP BY MONTH) AS avgtmax
ON (w.month = avgtmax.month)
INNER JOIN (SELECT MONTH,
round(avg(tmin)::numeric, 2) AS avg
FROM weather
WHERE tmin != -999
GROUP BY MONTH) AS avgtmin
ON (w.month = avgtmin.month)
INNER JOIN (SELECT MONTH,
round(avg(par)::numeric, 2) AS avg
FROM solar
WHERE par != -999
GROUP BY MONTH) AS avgpar
ON (s.month = avgpar.month)
INNER JOIN (SELECT MONTH,
round(avg(precip)::numeric, 2) AS avg
FROM weather
WHERE precip != -999
GROUP BY MONTH) AS avgprecip
ON (w.month = avgprecip.month)
--select station to output climate data by id number
WHERE w.station_id = 219101
