Exercise outline

The goal of this exercise is to visualize multiple data sets on one single map. This makes it possible to compare different data sets at the same geospatial location(s) and/or for the same modelling time step(s).

Info

The order of the different data layers in a map view can be adjusted using the context menus in the Map window (right click on a data layer | Order | ... ).

Additionally, WMS layers can be included to help identifying the actual geographical location of map data. Follow these steps:

  1. Add a new WMS layer to the map using the Map window (click the Add New Wms Layer ... button). In the Open web link ... dialog, select Microsoft Bing Maps - Satellite Hybrid. A new map layer will be added to the view. However, this layer is initially projected using a different coordinate system than the one for the volume output data:




  2. Select the same coordinate systems for the different map layers in the Map window (right click on the map group layer | Change Map Coordinate System ...). In the corresponding dialog, look for the coordinate system WGS_1984_Web_Mercator and assign it to all layers in the group. The map view should now represent all layers using the same coordinate system. Zoom to the volume group layer (right click on the volume model group layer in the Map window | Zoom to Extend) to see all data at their appropriate location:
