Postprocessing and plotting GeoClaw output

Plotting time frame output¶

• Plotting with Visclaw documentation is outdated and needs a lot of work!

• Using setplot.py

• plotting on maps or satellite imagery

• Extracting transects

Specialized gauge plots¶

• Better titles with quantities like max value, lat,lon, etc.

• Gotchas: discontinuities in output when AMR level changes

• Phase plane plots of flow direction

Plotting fgmax output¶

• plan view

• transects

• determining initial shoreline from B0 topography

  • may require separate GeoClaw run with no dtopo

• plotting on maps or satellite imagery

Plotting fgout output¶

• Similar tools as for time frames and/or fgmax

• Making animations

Plotting topo in 3D with PyVista¶

• Some examples to accompany visclaw issue #311

• Some examples developed for Cascadia CoPes Hub research.

Debris tracking¶

• As postprocessing, using velocity field from fgout output.
