Abstract

Global environment change has become a worldwide concern in recent years. Rainfall is an important climatologically parameter, and knowledge of its temporal and spatial patterns is useful for researchers working in many disciplines, such as optimal management of agriculture, environment and related activities. Meteorological data coming from stations are the most reliable and used sources to assess the climate condition of an area. Historical records of monthly rainfall data for the time period 2003-2013 were acquired from the Iraqi Meteorological Organization and Seismology (IMOS). The long-term data were collected from 24 weather stations. To obtain optimal maps of rainfall we also used the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). In this paper we tried to explain the possibility of vector format KML and its properties for thematic mapping in Google Earth closer, which is used to display the resulting map outputs. Maps alone are compiled by the client using the Web site browser for transferring input variables to the server, where they are processed and map data is subsequently generated according to client requirements.

Highlights

  • A Geographical Information System (GIS) provides a powerful collection of tools for the management and visualization of Meteorological data

  • Historical records of monthly rainfall data for the time period 2003-2013 were acquired from the Iraqi Meteorological Organization and Seismology (IMOS)

  • Prediction method is ordinary kriging because it gives least error for IMOS and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) data

Summary

Introduction

A Geographical Information System (GIS) provides a powerful collection of tools for the management and visualization of Meteorological data. G. Krige who developed the technique in an attempt to more accurately predict or reserves[1].ArcGIS for Server allows to share geographic information system (GIS) resources across an enterprise as web services. GIS resources are the maps, globes, address locators, geodatabases, and tools that we want to share with others. It can host GIS resources on ArcGIS for Server system and allow client applications, such as web mapping applications and mobile devices, to use and interact with the resources. With a small amount of html coding, the user gainsthe ability to show images within description balloons and link to images or other files that are on the internet or the local computer[3]
