Graph #

Graph opens a window that plots raster time series as monthly totals: for each month, the sum of all pixels. Use it to compare model outputs with observations, or to compare scenarios.

Use #

Click Open and select a folder of rasters. Each folder becomes one series. Repeat for more series.
Set Start Date and End Date, or click ¶ to load them from the configuration. Start on the first day of a month.
Choose Plot (time series) or Scatter. For Scatter, first select a series in the list: it becomes the x-axis, and the other series are plotted against it.
Click Display.

Control	Description
Delete / Reset / Up / Down	Remove, clear or reorder series
Scale factor	Multiplies a series before plotting, for example to convert units. Select a series, type a value and click <-Change scale. Default 1.
Tick Num	Number of x-axis labels (default 16)
Toolbar	Reset view, pan, zoom to rectangle, subplot layout, save figure (PNG and other formats)

How dates are read #

The tool reads the date from the first number with 4 or more digits in the file path:

Rasterize netCDF4

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Rasterize netCDF4 #

Tools › Rasterize netCDF4 converts a variable from a netCDF file into GeoTIFF rasters. Use it for climate model output or for gridded burned-area products such as GFED.

Field	Description	Default
netCDF4	Input `.nc` file. Check variables lists its dimensions and variables.	—
Y-axis, X-axis	Coordinate variables. The tool preselects names containing “lat” and “lon”.	auto
Value	Variable to export, for example `Total`	—
Time-axis (opt.)	Time variable. Leave it empty for a single layer.	auto (“time”)
Start Date (opt.)	Date of the first time step. Used only with a time axis.	—
Daily / Monthly / Yearly	Interval between time steps	Daily
Projection (EPSG)	CRS of the coordinates	4326
Nodata	NoData value written to the output	−9999
Data type	Output data type	float32
Output	Output path and base file name. With a time axis, the tool writes one GeoTIFF per time step, with the date in the file name.	—

The output stays on the netCDF grid. To align it with your base map, use Configuration › Preprocess or AFEIM.Tools.snap() in Python. Then convert the values to the units FLAM expects (see Input data).

G4M Interpret Yield Table

G4M Interpret Yield Table #

G4M › Interpret Yield Table fits the G4M growth coefficients c0–c7 for each tree species from a yield table.

This tool needs the G4M back end. Contact the FLAM team if you are interested in this module.

Yield table format #

The yield table is an Excel workbook (.xlsx) with one sheet per species and these columns (the tool preselects them by name):
