General Information

Repository Name: The Kreisgraben-Phenomenon
Additional Name: KGAL
Description: Based on high-resolution digital elevation models, areas possibly orientated towards topographical and astronomical features were systematically investigated using GIS-based viewsheds and computed skyscapes and a self-developed Python based routine that incorporates the visible horizon as seen from the enclosure. The repository presented here is comprised of a database of all circular enclosures under investigation. The database entries include the coordinates and a thorough description of each enclosure. Additionally, several resources – such as skyline and viewshed maps, files of input parameters and plots of astronomical features – are deposited.
