Weather
Weather is an Item in the Tygron Platform that can be referenced by Water Overlays. It can also be used as a visual weather effect in the 3D Visualization. However, certain visual elements related to weather, such as clouds and sunshine, are controlled using Environment settings.
Different types of weather
There are different behaviors that are considered weather types in the Tygron Platform. These behaviors/weather types can be triggered automatically, or specifically through an event (bundle), linked to a Measure, or Scenario. The available weather types are listed below.
Rain
When 'Rain' is triggered, the local water level rises, reducing the storage capacity available to mitigate flooding.
Snow
The weather type 'Snow' is a winter style visualization of the weather type 'Rain' and behaves accordingly. Currently only falling snow is being visualized.
Drought
The weather type 'Drought' makes the area brighter (bloom) and water levels drop, when triggered. A dropped water level enlarges the water storage capacity of an area.
Wind
The weather type 'Wind' is currently only available in the drop down menu on the right panel, and has no real effect on the project yet.
Flooding
The weather type 'Flooding' floods a designated area when triggered. The affected area must be manually defined.
