Title: Application of web-GIS approach for climate change
study
Summary:
This article is about climate change and how much data and
information is required to study it.
Because this is the case, dealing with that much data can be cumbersome
and be detrimental to the outcome. That
is why a web-GIS system has been created.
The article states that some of these single datasets can contain up to
tens terabyes! This system was created
for “analysis of georeferenced climatological and meteorological data.” One of the solutions that is included in this
system is object-oriented programming, which is essential to analyzing
meteorological data. The enormous
benefit of this system is that the output that is created is a basic binary
code that can be produced on any regular computer with an Internet
connection. This allows for more
opportunities to analyze the data.
Since this system doesn’t require much from the computer, it is being used in educational purposes as well. It is a user-friendly system so that even a computer layman can compute and produce complex analyses. From my experience using large datasets, it can significantly slow down my computer. I think creating a system like this is a great idea and will be able to take data analysis so much further, not only in the meteorological industry, but many others.
