Visualization Controls

Multivariable Encoded Linechart Timeline Navigation: clicking at a position within the MVE visualization selects a new date. See the graphic explanation below. This also includes a new blue area below the stream flow that represents water in soil levels.

Tempo (faster to slower): clicking in the tempo area changes the playback speed.

Visualization graphics key:

Stream flow: bubble speed and number increases with stream flow.

Turbulence (above rocks) color (darker to lighter white): streamflow.

Leaf color (dark green to bright green): Evapotranspiration.

Rock color (orange to bright red if > 0 degrees C, purple to light blue if < 0 degrees C): Temperature.

Stick Y position on leftmost side of stick: water in soil level (from y position 20 maximum to 180 minimum - the higher position means the higher the value)

Stick number of sections (from 1 to 5 sections): air pressure ((from lowest to highest)

Stick stroke thickness size (from 1 to 5 pixels): air pressure (from lowest to highest)

Falling rain drops or snow: precipitation (lighter color and rounder when temperature > 0 degrees C)

Background effect: solar radiation (brighter more sunlight)

Angle of precipitation: wind direction (mapped -4 to 4 x pixels offset from 0 to 360 degrees)
