GeoSpatial Plotting and Animation Tool (GeoSPlAT)
home | e-mail

Introduction

GeoSPlAT (GeoSpatial Plotting and Animation Tool) was developed to fill a requirement of both the BADC and the NERC DataGrid.

GeoSPlAT has a sister package called the Data Extractor that provides a web-interface to data selection, sub-setting and conversion. This combines effectively with GeoSPlAT to provide a data extraction suite.

What does the GeoSPlAT do?

Please see the BADC Data Extractor web page for more details.

Acknowledgements

Thanks to the CDAT team for providing a tool that I could build upon to develop the GeoSPlAT. Thanks to numerous colleagues at the BADC and NDG for you guidance.

Note that I am looking for collaborators to expand the functionality of the GeoSPlAT. Contact me if you are interested.
