Pisces is a desktop application that graphs and analyzes time series data. Pisces is designed to organize, graph, and analyze natural resource data that varies with time: gauge height, river flow, water temperature, etc.

Pisces provides convenient access to time series model results and the ability to easily compare many different scenarios or alternatives. It has a scenario selector unique to Pisces that converts massive amounts of output data into a summary form for each time series by scenario/alternative.
