Geographic Information Systems Asked on August 3, 2021
I am new to Google Earth Engine code.
Currently, I have code that runs various functions (NVDI, greenness index from Landsat data) for a single state, but for several years (using a ‘for’ loop for the years) – it generates a NDVI and other factors for 1997, 1998,…2019. I run one state, change the name, and run it again. That’s cumbersome, and since I have many states to do, so I’m hoping to automate it.
example of current code:
var startYr = 1997;
var endYr = 2019;
var roiName = 'TN'
var states = ee.FeatureCollection('my_assets/myshapefile'); // shapefile with states
var roi = ee.Feature(states.filter(ee.Filter.eq('STUSPS',roiName)).first()); // State for ROI
for (var yr = startYr; yr <= endYr; yr=yr+1){
blah blah blah function to calculate Landsat band metrics for the roi for each year blah blah blah
}
Now I want to run this but not have to change the code for each state I want to run.
So I have a list of roi’s:
Example:
var states = ee.FeatureCollection('my_assets/cb_2018_CONUS_500k'); shapefile with all U.S. states
var filtered = ee.Filter.inList('STUSPS', ['AR','MS','LA','MO','TN']); //list of states to process
I guess I’m stuck on how to "properly" do the ‘for’ loop alternative for the list of roi’s.
I’ve snipped a bunch of the code out so hopefully this makes enough sense.
You would typically put your inputs into lists and/or collections, and iterate over them using map()
. Here's an example giving your a FeatureCollection
with dummy data for the years between 1997 and 2000 for two states:
var years = ee.List.sequence(1997, 2000)
var states = ee.FeatureCollection('TIGER/2018/States')
.filter(ee.Filter.inList('STUSPS', ['AR', 'MS']))
var features = ee.FeatureCollection(
years.map(function (year) {
return states.map(function (state) {
return doSomething(year, state)
})
})
).flatten()
print(features)
function doSomething(year, state) {
return ee.Feature(null, {
year: year,
state: state.get('NAME'),
someValue: ee.Number(year).multiply(2)
})
}
