A. Data Analysis

- this tool allows the user to import, visualize, and analyze scatter point data. Analyses include histrogram, PDF/CDF, and other graphical techniques, data distribution exploration, data interpolation (IDW and kriging), linear regression, and outlier processing.

B. USGS Sensor Data

- this tool allows users to extract US Geological Survey (USGS) monitoring data (e.g., monitoring wells and stream gauges) in the USA (interface shared with Climate Data below).

C. Climate Data

- this tool allows users to extract PRISM Climate Data (e.g., rainfall and temperature) in the USA (interface shared with USGS Sensor Data above).

D. Datanet

- this option opens a Datanet "child" window connected to the existing model domain. In Datanet the user can explore and import images, shapes, and rasters for use in the modeling environment.

Once the Datanet child page is succesfully linked, the model domain can be passed from IGW-NET to DataNET by again clicking the 'Datanet' button in the Data Explorer submenu.

E. WMS Layer

   Load WMS Layer - this tool allows the user to import georeferenced WMS image data into the modeling environment from a public data URL. A few autocompleted options are available including USGS LiDAR data and land cover for the USA, but most public WMS URLS should work. Tip, use the Datanet tool above to interactively explore more WMS datasets.

   Remove WMS Layer - remove all WMS layers.

   Hide/Show WMS Layer - show or hide all WMS layers.

F. WFS Layer

Load WFS Layer - this tool allows users to import WFS vector data into the modeling environment from a public data URL. Tip, use the Datanet tool above to interactively explore more WFS datasets.

Remove WFS Layer - remove all WFS layers.

Hide/Show WFS Layer - show or hide all WFS layers.

G. WCS Layer

   Load WMS Layer - this tool allows users to import WCS raster data into the modeling environment from a public data URL. Tip, use the Datanet tool above to interactively explore more WCS datasets.

   Remove WCS Layer - remove all WCS layers.

   Hide/Show WCS Layer - show or hide all WCS layers.
