Data (Tools)
Life Under Your Feet offers access to data from our soil sensor networks. Tools
to view the data come in two types. Visualization tools let you
view and interact with the data in place and time. Search tools
let you search through the entire database to find specific data.
Our sensor network measures the following data (note: not all sensors measure each variable):
| - Surface Temperature |
- Soil Temperature |
| - Soil Water Pressure |
- Volumetric Soil Water Content |
| - Light Flux |
- CO2 Flux |
| - Surface Moisture |
- Battery Voltage |
| - Photo-Active Radiation |
- Total Solar Radiation |
Visualization Tools
Data Mapper
is the easiest way to get
data from our sensor networks. It allows you to:
-
Locate our deployment sites
-
Browse The available data and sensing-types
-
Visualize the data using our mapping tool allowing for
study of spatial and temporal heterogenity in the
sensing variables.
|
|
Microsoft SenseWeb
portal allows one to visualize our data
using the senseweb portal. Our data is published in a
format that is understood by the senseweb portal and
we can take advantage of the following attractive visualization features
of Senseweb:
-
Heat map movies to
visualize data in time and space overlaid on
satellite images.
-
Correlate Time-series plots across motes and
sensing variables
SenseWeb opens in a new window.

Search Tools
|
Search Form
provides public access to our data
using a simple web-form. Data can be
searched using time, deployment, motes,
and environmental variables.
Expert users can also write free-form
SQL Queries.
|
|
SQL Search allows you to type in a SQL query directly to the Life Under Your Feet database.
Help is provided for those who would
like to understand more about these tools, using SQL, and the
properties of the objects stored in our database.
