Before revision:  This paper appraises approaches to address this problem, highlighting a common underlying structure  and challenges of aggregation at relevant geographical scales , and investigates improvements on the literature state of the art. We also demonstrate a novel decomposition scheme to avoid temporal aggregation for applications where longer runtimes are permissible .
After revision:  This paper appraises approaches to address this problem, highlighting a common underlying structure and challenges of aggregation at relevant geographical scales . We then investigate solutions to the modeling problem including a decomposition scheme to avoid temporal aggregation for applications where longer runtimes are permissible .
