Other geographically related data. This covers measurements of depths/heights
(with geographic reference) and profiles. Also included is any data derived from the
depth measurements, such as interpolated surfaces, results from difference
calculations etc. Survey related data with a geographical reference are also stored as
shape files.
Administrative data. This covers data with no geographical reference (e.g. general
survey information). These data are stored in dBase IV-format, which is a wellknown database format and immediately supported by ArcView. However, these
data could also be stored in an external database and reached through ODBC.
Regularly measured hydrographic data. This covers measurements at fixed
positions of variables such as wind speed/direction, wave height etc. Hydrographic
data are stored in ASCII-format which makes on-line data acquisition easier,
should the need arise.
Sediment data. In the case were sediment samples have been collected and
analysed it is possible to keep this information within MIKE INFO Coast as well.
Background images. These images are related to the maps, and can be satellite
photos and/or aerial images.
Directional images. This covers photographs taken at fixed ground locations in a
certain direction. If several photo surveys have been performed it is possible to
compare photographs from the same location but taken at different times.
Model result data. This covers data to and from LITPACK and MIKE 21. Model
data are imported/exported in the ASCII-format exported/imported from the
relevant model.
Functionalities in MIKE INFO Coast
MIKE INFO Coast covers a range of functionalities that can be used for managing and
presenting coastal zone data. Some of these functionalities are listed below:
Import of measured or surveyed point. These points are imported from a simple
ASCII-file containing XYZ-format data.
Editing of measured points. It is possible to edit the imported surveyed points in
various ways. You can delete erroneous points, add new ones, shift the datum of all
or some of the points etc.
Organising the measured points in profiles. You can define a set of profiles in
various ways (interactively by pointing, automatically generated or imported). Then
you can organise your measured points relative to these profiles, by projecting the
points onto the profiles.
Calculation of differences between profiles. Having organised your measured
points you can compare data from various surveys. Thus, you can calculate the
difference between two profiles and get an estimate of the erosion/deposit for that
particular profile.
