Foil 17 LMS: Changes in Vegetation

From DATORR Gateway and WebFlow HPTi Visit to NPAC -- February 18 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Tom Haupt
A decision maker (the end user of the system) wants to evaluate changes in vegetation in some geographical region over a long time period caused by some short term disturbances such as a fire or human's activities.
  • One of the critical parameters of the vegetation model is soil condition at the time of the disturbance.
  • This in turn is dominated by rainfalls that possibly occur at that time
Components of Application Include:
  • Data retrieval
  • Data preprocessing
  • Simulation: two interacting codes
    • EDYS
    • CASC2D
  • Visualization
