Animating measured precipitation and soil moisture data

Nowadays more and more measurement sites are installed in the field to gain insight in the process of 2-dimensional moisture flow in topsoils in dependence of the weather conditions. As these measurements yield a large amount of data, visualization is essential and therefore a software package was d...

Description
Summary:Nowadays more and more measurement sites are installed in the field to gain insight in the process of 2-dimensional moisture flow in topsoils in dependence of the weather conditions. As these measurements yield a large amount of data, visualization is essential and therefore a software package was developed consisting of several tools to process the measured data by creating animated movies of the changes in soil moisture content in time. This paper presents the software, the dataflow between the tools, a description of the tools and some examples of input and output.
