On
the Ecosystem Modelling site you will be able to keep updated on the latest developments
within the modelling field, look up contact persons using (and in some
cases developing) specific models, and find some useful documentation
on ecosystem
modelling.

Applied Technology
VegA Data EditoR (VADER) VADER is a java application designed to very quickly and efficiently retrieve large amounts of layerhigh-resolution sensor data. Its functionality is similar to dbBadger but should have much improved query times.
dbBadger dbBadger retrieves and temporally synchronizes data from the Vega datamodel. It includes functionality to output unsynchronized data, temporally synchronized data, interpolated data, and time-weighted aggregated data.
Vega Vega is a tool for viewing graphed data from Vega grouped by site. It is primarily utilized for manual tech monitoring of sampled
variables. All available hi-res streams are plotted. Note: Hi-res water-temp profiles for some sites can be slow to render as they represent a high number of datapoints (over 200,000 from Mendota Buoy). This tool is built upon vegaPlot, described below.

Controlled Vocabulary Controlled Vocabulary (XLS) is a list of terms to use when searching the GLEON database.
Lake Analyzer The Lake Analyzer is a set of tools developed by GLEON allows users to calculate common metrics for lake physical states, such as Schmidt stability and Wedderburn number. All source code (Matlab and R), as well executables, are freely available, and some calculations can be done through the Web site.
Now Casting Now Casting is a nearly real-time buoy obervation and model prediution, nowcasting, was created at the subtropical, alpine lake, Yuan Yang Lake (YYL), in the northern Taiwan by several research groups. The primary purpose of the nowcasting is to do monitoring YYL physical and partly chemical dynamics in the termporal and spatial variations.
WISBIN CAST WISBIN CAST is the system that integrates observation and model prediction. In the North Temperate Lakes Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site located in the northern Wisconsin, telemetry, instrumented buoys and the meteorological station at Woodruff Airport have been collecting field data, such as meteorological conditions and water temperature, and Dissolved Oxygen concentration through radio and internet communications.
