Abstract
The Observation Analysis Tool was developed for the FREEWAT GIS environment in order to integrate the data offered by state-of-the-art monitoring systems directly into numerical simulations for water resources management. Time-series are an important aspect of environmental modelling, and are becoming more available through the requirements of the water framework directive as well as more important with the advancement of numerical simulation techniques and increased model complexity. OAT enables time-series visualisation, pre-processing of data for model development, and post-processing of model results. The tool contains an expandable Python library of processes, incorporating a participatory approach to development. As well as processing MODFLOW results, OAT can act as a pre-processor for calibration observations, and will be expanded to incorporate its processing capabilities directly into the calibration process.
