After some weeks without any comments I think we could proceed to
create the dataset.

I would like to work on it and on temporal documentation in the next
two days, so what do you think about this plan starting from the
sample data for the temporal workshop [0]?
- remove some years from climate_2000_2012 data, for example keep no
more that 5 years, because right know the location is a little bit
heavy (about 700MB) and for documentation 5 years should be fine.
- create vector for static temporal dataset from towns querying the
rasters in climate_2000_2012 to create something like virtual weather
stations
- add the shoreline ocean data, maybe in a new mapset
- create at least one temporal dataset for each type (strds, str3ds, stvds)
- update the temporal documentation according the new dataset.

what do you think?

Helena in her answer was speaking about orthophoto and DEM for the
shoreline ocean data, are this data already inside the location
(elev_lid792_1m,elev_state_500m,ortho_t792_1m) ?
