We produced a software for scientists and managers working with marinas, and small harbor. Our software is able to predict the distribution of portuality and vulnerability risk.

jk3d is a java code for 3d interpolation of scattered data. jk3d uses a quality weighted ordinary Kriging method and optional an inverse distances weighting method. It has no graphical user interface and uses ASCII files to define the input.

mesoFON is an individual-based mangrove forest model. It is a Java implementation of the KiWi model done with RePast Simphony. It contains several new features: (1) You can add up to 10 species via the GUI. However, in principle, the number of species to be included programmatically is unlimited. (2) You can use a variety of growth functions via typing them in as a string on the GUI. (3) The model is transparent, sinc it comes with the Eclipse workbench of RePast.

netcdf-tools is a set of tools for creating netCDF files. It supports command line use on both Windows and Unix as well as use directly as a Java library. Written by CSIRO Australia and funded by the ANDS Australian Research Data Commons Project

Generic data-assimilation toolbox written in java, with native (c and fortran) libraries for high performance computing. Provides tools to couple to your own model and a wide range of algorithms, ranging from parameter calibration to Kalman filters.

panFMP is a generic framework suitable for harvested XML metadata that is searchable through Apache Lucene without any additional RDBMS. Fields can be defined by XPath allowing for full text queries on all types of fields including numerical ranges. The code was moved to Github: https://github.com/pangaea-data-publisher/panfmp

Starting from GIMMS values as ascii data (each line will be treated as individual time series), the application can smooth the ts - values by applying different algorithm that are based on Fouriertransformation. Separation of seasonal figure as well as the detection of linear trends is possible. Possible breaks in longterm mean can be detected with a change-point analysis using CuSum algorithms. Phenological events such as start-of-season, day-of-max/day-of-min, end-of-season can be determined via threshold-based algorithms or via analysis of max. increase of NDVI during green-up. These analyses work also for multimodal phenologies where individual seasons (partly) interfere each other. User can navigate through all steps of analysis via GUI or can define complex workflows that will be processed in batch-mode.

The program allows the simulation of spatial dynamics in a benthic coral reef community under various environmental settings. Several coral species, with either massive or branching colony growth morphologies are implemented as individual colonies, which compete for space with each other as well as with macroalgae and algal turf. For more details on the first version of the program see also: Kubicek A, Muhando C, Reuter H (2012) Simulations of Long-Term Community Dynamics in Coral Reefs - How Perturbations Shape Trajectories. PLoS Comput Biol 8(11): e1002791. doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002791 http://www.ploscompbiol.org/doi/pcbi.1002791 Version 2.0 of the program assesses feedbacks in coral systems and is published in Kubicek A, Reuter H (2016) Mechanics of multiple feedbacks in benthic coral reef communities.

Voc2RDF facilitates the transformation of simple vocabularies into a format that could be used by Semantic Web tools.

Open-source weather database system for storage of weather/water observations, forecasts, analysis fields, and hindcasts. includes loading program for GRIB files. Visit project website (http://wdb.met.no) for further information. Please note: this project has now moved to http://wdb.met.no

Weatherlib is a Java library providing weather support for your application. It is able to retrieve weather informations from the net and to rearrange them in a object data structure. All of gathered data is reachable through a Java bean-like interface.

Xenophon transfers the log of your wintec wbt-201 gps data logger to your mobile phone. The logfiles are written in wintec's .tk1 format. They can thus be further processed by gpsbabel or timemachineX on your pc.
