Development of a Data Visualization and Analysis Tool to Study the Particle Dynamics in the Coastal Zone

摘要

Developing a field experiment to stud the different as- pects of the marine system involves both the co-operation of research groups from distinct disciplines and the use of various meteorological and oceanographical sensors de- ployed simultaneously at different locations. The infor- mation obtained, stored in voluminous data sets and frequently in various formats, needs to be visualized and analysed in different ways to provide knowledge of the dynamics of the system examined. There is therefore need for tools to be able to: (i) access and retrieve data sets stored in various file formats, and (ii)to allow their vi- sualization and analysis.
