Alpine3D  Alpine3D-3.2.0
Simulation tools

Several tools are available to help using Alpine3D. As for SNOWPACK, it is possible to use inishell to configure the simulations. There is also another java tool, "view" in the "Interface" sub directory, that can be used to visualize ARC ASCII grids as well as to visualize DEM and LUS files in this format. This can also be used to generate a LUS file by opening an aerial picture and manually tagging the pixels (one by one, along lines or within polygons). Finally, this tool can also generate a POI (points of interest) file for more detailed outputs at some specific points.
