Overview:
BaRatinAGE (Bayesian RATINg curve Advance Graphical Environment) is a graphical interface to a Bayesian method for estimating rating curves (relations between water height and flow in rivers) and associated uncertainties. Il is used worldwide (translated in 27 languages), by operational services in charge of rivers monitoring, researchers, students, etc...
The software, in its v2.2 version, is currently being used worldwide (translated in 27 languages), by operational services in charge of rivers monitoring, researchers, students, etc...
BaRatinAGE v3 is a full rewrite of BaRatinAGE v2 undertaken at the request of researchers from Inrae. This rewrite aimed at (1) takin into account recent developments in the underlying Bayesian method, BaRatin method, (2) laying the foundations for a generalization of the graphical interface to other rating curve models and (3) modernizing the software and improving many ergonomic aspects.
BaRatinAGE is free and Open Source. It can be downloaded from Github . For more information on the BaRatin method and its graphical user interface BaRatinAGE, please visit https://baratin-tools.github.io/en/ .
In a few words:
- implementation of the jbam package, a java API to configure and control the BaM executable
- implementation of a Swing graphical interface, with very advanced code factorization to make it as generic as possible; the goal is to be able to easily extend the grapgical interface to add new rating curve models or even models that are outside of this scope.
- reactive graphical interface: user actions are automatically propagated to the rest of the interface, synchronicity problems between configurations and results are safely managed, interactive graphics to present the results, language change without restarting...
- packaging as a stand-alone executable (no need to have Java, no need to install), saving/loading of project files, import of BaRatinAGE v2 projects, custom icons, ...
