Zusammenfassung |
The System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses (SAGA) is an open source
geographic information system (GIS), mainly licensed under the GNU General
Public License. Since its first release in 2004, SAGA has rapidly developed
from a specialized tool for digital terrain analysis to a comprehensive and
globally established GIS platform for scientific analysis and modeling. SAGA
is coded in C++ in an object oriented design and runs under several
operating systems including Windows and Linux. Key functional features of the
modular software architecture comprise an application programming interface
for the development and implementation of new geoscientific methods, a user
friendly graphical user interface with many visualization options, a command
line interpreter, and interfaces to interpreted languages like R and Python.
The current version 2.1.4 offers more than 600 tools, which are implemented
in dynamically loadable libraries or shared objects and represent the broad
scopes of SAGA in numerous fields of geoscientific endeavor and beyond. In
this paper, we inform about the system's architecture, functionality, and its
current state of development and implementation. Furthermore, we highlight
the wide spectrum of scientific applications of SAGA in a review of published
studies, with special emphasis on the core application areas digital terrain
analysis, geomorphology, soil science, climatology and meteorology, as well
as remote sensing. |
