1. Introduction

Besides vector and raster, data sometimes comes in the mesh format. This format is often used in hydraulics, oceanography and meteorology. A mesh is an unstructured grid usually with temporal and other components. More info about mesh data can be found in the QGIS Documentation.

In this tutorial we're going to:
  • Style a precipitation mesh
  • Animate a precipitation mesh
  • Calculate precipitation sum with mesh calculator
  • Extract precipitation at a specific location
  • Make graphs with the Data Plotly plugin
