First Sonification Experiments Based on Measurement Data Obtained by WSL

A simple Ambisonics sound installation (4/2 channels) was created to conduct the first sonification experiment using the measurement data obtained in Salgesch by WSL. The main focus here was on which sounds and noises could be attributed to which processes and phenomena (e. g. course of the sun or tree trunk radius) and how these should be arranged spatially and moved. In this system, we sonified not only meteorological data but also ecophysiological data from a pine tree (Pinus sylvestris) and a downy oak tree (Quercus pubescens).
