Review

Usually you will follow a find-manipulate-visualize-download workflow.

  1. Find a suitable dataset in your region of interest and scan through the different data types.

  2. Manipulate the dataset in your personal workbench. Scale it to the resolution and extend you need. Apply common tools to gain first insight into your dataset.

  3. Visualization will foster and aid this process. V-FOR-WaTer offers a powerful and fully customizable visualization tool.

  4. Download the new dataset into your preferred working environment. In case this is a Jupyter notebook, the V-FOR-WaTer toolbox will be available, as well!

  5. Publish your research done based on the downloaded dataset and don’t forget to cite the dataset and V-FOR-WaTer ;)
