DelftResultViewer, is a GIS based visualisation tool developed by Deltares (former WL| Delft Hydraulics) aimed at easy dissemintation dissemination of (potentially large quantities of) spatial coastal information. facilitating
the use of data and (expert) knowledge in coastal problems. It does so by supporting modellers as much as possible in the efforts needed to set up new models and manage and use existing ones. This means the integration into the system of:
- information that is freely available online (wind data, wave data, bathymetry, tidal components etc.)
- tools that are developed in the context of specific projects, but that have a more generic value (tsunami toolbox, hurricane toolbox, ucit toolbox, nesting toolbox etc.)
- interfaces to the main hydrodynamic and morphodynamic models used at Deltares and Delft University of Technology
The main console of DelftAlmighty shows a map of the world. The interface futhermore facilitates the selection of a specific model, which brings up a userinterface to that model. Finally one can select one of the available toolboxes. Each of the toolboxes should work with each of the model. Information should be able to flow freely in between models and toolboxes.
projecting spatially specified information (erosion points, coastline positions, reference lines, zones etc.) on GIS maps. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is designed such that the user can easily step from coastal resort to coastal resort, from year to year, from parameter to parameter, etc.
Potential applications of DelftResultViewer focus on: projects that produce significant amounts of coastal data that need to be disseminated to coastal experts, practitioners, policy makers and local stakeholdersPotential applications of DelftAlmighty focus on: projects with significant amounts of data that require a well structured approach, areas where projects are carried out on a regular basis, areas where only limited data is available, R&D projects involving data and models etc.
