Hi,

How do I best use gridded data in postgres-postgis (I've only used vector data before)?

I want to use daily weather variables that are in a grid for USA. I would want store the daily variables ( a new grid each day) so I can have a database that will allow the client to send a point lat/lon and then return a calculation based on a few days worth of two or three variables.

Do I store each day (or variable) as a new table? How does a grid get stored in postgres? Is this a job for PostGIS Raster (though I do not want to produce images, just queries at a point)?

Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve
