Data Management and Archiving
Measured data from different sources can be directly archived and managed (automatic and manual measuring devices, remote calls, manual collection during observation, external data, data archive).
WISKI provides the flexibility to define any relevant parameter, such as
precipitation,
air temperature and pressure,
absolute and relative humidity,
height of snow and
fresh snow level.
In addition to the large selection of standard parameters, user defined parameters can also be specified. The automatic conversion between different unit systems can be carried out swiftly and easily.
The management of all common station basic data is carried out via concise basic data tab pages. All recorded data is saved systematically, continuously and centrally within one database.
WISKI offers an extraordinarily high level of data security. A principle reason for this is that raw data is always maintained as write-protected within the system. Any editing and quality control of this data is then carried out on a copy of the raw data. Data editing work is facilitated by the powerful and flexible graphical editor.
Hydro-meteorological measuring networks can be constructed within WISKI. The data stored is managed using logical, hierarchical structures.
Data Checking and Correction
Sophisticated graph and tabular tools (such as the exceptional graphical data editor) are available for the checking of measured data that has been collected through means of groundwater observations, e.g. review, processing, and correction. Data sets can be subjected to automatic or manual data validation as the data enters the system. The following are amongst the test criteria available:
threshold value,
distance,
gradient (time or value difference),
completeness,
periodical (exceedance/non-exceedance of permissible values over specified time periods),
calibration (daily, monthly, annual), and
individually defined test algorithms (formula editor).
Additionally, a seamless comments system with information pertaining to data quality, processing status, time and type of data check is also available. Status monitoring with alarm functions are also included in WISKI.
Assessment and Analysis of Measured Data
WISKI offers a multidisciplinary system with comprehensive evaluation tools, which can be used to analyse measured data (e.g. calculation of aerial precipitation or data validation through the use of regression). Powerful calculation, analysis, visualisation, reporting as well as import and export functions are available for the assessment and analysis of data.
Statistical and evaluation procedures in accordance with international standards can also be integrated (such as extreme value statistics, rainfall frequency analysis, double mass plots, trend analysis, long-term values). WISKI is capable of carrying out complex linear and multiple regression analyses using multiple segments and different regression types. Individually defined calculation algorithms can be integrated via any formula that has been assigned to your data (calculation of representative precipitation or snow cover are examples).
Data presentation
A full range of tools are available for the presentation of data in WISKI.
Detailed evaluations - for example of graphs and reports - can be generated directly from a graphical user interface. Graphs and reports can be automatically or manually generated for freely configurable time periods (such as monthly and annual reports).
The forwarding, processing and integration of data or evaluations using external formats (e.g. MS Excel, PDF, RTF, BMP, JPG, PNG amongst others) or within any type of document (e.g. MS Word) facilitates seamless working processes. Evaluations can be carried out in accordance with various national and international standards.
WISKI is equipped with a direct interface for web display (Intranet and Internet). Spatial evaluations can be made via a direct interface to the appropriate Geographic Information System (GIS), for example generation of spatially interpolated precipitation or an overview of the current status of the measurement network.
