Short Description of Functionality

Under construction +++ under construction +++ NetCDFRasterTool is an interactive tool for visualisation and exploration of results of hydronumerical models. Analysis of grids and results is possible as well. 2D and 3D data can be displayed.
A sophisticated GUI enables intuitive use of NetCDFRasterTool, see picture. File:NetCDFRasterTool gui.png
It has been developed by smile consult GmbH, Hannover (Germany).

Methodology

The functionality is based on a set of Java libraries, which are also used in the grid generator Janet and the digital terrain modeling tool Gismo.

New features in version 2.27.0:

• Improved data management of simulation results
• Timeseries icon with different temporal zooms
• High resolution land water borderline based upon subedges
