- Description of ISO image Dissertation abstract LiveCD usage instruction ISO-image of the software and data supplement for the dissertation "Artificial Intelligence Methods in Radarmeteorology and Soil Erosion Research"/"Methoden der Künstlichen Intelligenz in Radarmeteorologie und Bodenerosionsforschung". The ISO-image contains a bootable Debian-based Live-Linux Distribution with english language settings, containing both all relevant data sources used for the dissertation and also the processing environment and toolchain, and also HTML and PDF content. The dissertation "Artificial Intelligence Methods in Radarmeteorology and Soil Erosion Research" discusses the assessment of potential rainfall erodibility in regard to soil erosion processes in South Africa. Knowledge-based approaches are used to derive rainfall information from weather radar data for the recording of erosivity pulses from individual rainfall events. This precipitation data is used as input for a erosivity modell consisting built out of cellular automata. The results generated by the modell are presented and discussed. Usage of the Live-CD: The Live-CD provides a bootable GIS workspace (GISIX-DISSIX) for Intel- and AMD-based computers, based on a compressed KNOPPIX-Live-CD for Debian Linux. For computers with different CPUs can (only) access the non-compressed folders containing content in HTML and PDF. Launching the GIS workspace requires the host computer to boot the ISO image (from the digital image or as a CDROM). by default no files will be written to the file systems of the host machine. If necessary, a bootable floppy disk can be generated. Please check the HTML-folders for details. Once the boot sequence has been initiated, a coomand line will open. Please enter "gisix" and hit return to start the KDE-Windowmanager. Use the "K"-Menue on the lower left of the desktop to access the menue item "Dissertation", which contains the scientific content. The GIS work environment (GRASS GIS) is available via the tab "Applications". The GRASSCAPE shell can be launched from the GRASS GIS prompt by entering "grasscape". The command "exit" exits the GRASSCAPE environment. To shut the Live-CD down select the option "Shutdown" from the K-Menue. Back on the initial commandline please enter "halt" to complete the shutdown sequence. Have fun.
