The authors developed a non-proprietary web-browser based open-source software that allows users to visualize and evaluate hydrologic space-time data in an interactive environment. Hydrovise is client-side browser-based software that interprets a configuration file to construct control elements in the Graphical User Interface for visualizations of space-time data and model simulation evaluations. It leverages the concept of three-dimensional data cubes that facilitate query in space, time, and variable dimension(s) without the requirement for a database system. Using a configuration file, users can define data sources as local file system resources and or external data sources (e.g., online data services). This capability makes Hydrovise a flexible and portable solution where users can share their hydrologic data in an interactive web environment. This paper provides the software description with four distinct example use cases including, but not limited to, time-series data visualization and evaluation, grid-based and river network-based data visualizations.

作者开发了一种非专有的基于Web浏览器的开源软件，该软件可让用户在交互式环境中可视化和评估水文时空数据。Hydrovise是基于客户端的基于浏览器的软件，该软件解释配置文件以在图形用户界面中构造控制元素，以实现时空数据的可视化和模型仿真评估。它利用了三维数据多维数据集的概念，该数据多维数据集便于在空间，时间和可变维度上进行查询，而无需数据库系统。使用配置文件，用户可以将数据源定义为本地文件系统资源和/或外部数据源（例如，在线数据服务）。该功能使Hydrovise成为一种灵活且可移植的解决方案，用户可以在交互式Web环境中共享其水文数据。
