TrilaWatt: Use cases

In the research project TrilaWatt (Digital Hydromorphological Twin of the Trilateral Wadden Sea), consistent basic data on bathymetry, sedimentology, hydrodynamics and morphodynamics were developed through the integration and analysis of spatial data. The creation of this data was accompanied by practical use cases, which were created in the course of the project with external partners. Use cases exist, for example, in the field of scientific coastal research, in the support of construction and development projects in the coastal area, as well as in environmental monitoring and nature conservation.

Data products from TrilaWatt continue the time series of the EasyGSH-DB project (Link, 1996 - 2015) in the area of the German Bight up to and including 2021. All data can be found and referenced free of charge according to the FAIR principles "Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-Usable". Long-term data contribute to the system understanding of hydromorphological and physical processes in the trilateral Wadden Sea. This metadata record is the parent record for all use cases developed in TrilaWatt. Each use case contains documented project descriptions of the need or relevance, new methodology, implementation and new data products.

English:
Data products from the digital twin of the trilateral Wadden Sea are used in scientific coastal research, the planning and evaluation of construction and development projects in coastal areas, environmental monitoring and nature conservation. By integrating and analyzing extensive consistent data on bathymetry, sedimentology, hydrodynamics and morphodynamics, the digital twin enables reliable statements about physical processes and developments. This metadata set is the parent to all documented use cases. The metadata of the use cases document project descriptions on methodology, data requirements and implementation.
