Abstract
The Internet version of the interactive geoinformation system names as «Crimea Sea Coast» based on javascript programming language and the modern open library «leaflet» is described. Development of a product supposed to use of the modern vector graphics technologies, such as D3, Flot and other superstructures over javascript. The main attention is paid to operational representation of full-scale results observations with assessment of Crimea coastal zone dynamics in general. Options of such approach are already realized with use of data on measurement of coast line position of the northwest coast now. In addition, the system reserves the special section described the basis and results of the implementation of the previously developed cadastral assessment of the Crimea beaches, including their recreational areas, economic assessment of recreational resources, as well as the results of comprehensive interdisciplinary monitoring of Sevastopol Bay environmental condition for the period from 1998 to the present, including a cartographic representation of the geographical elements of the region as a whole. The results of monitoring allow to realize visualization of spatial distributions of hydrological, hydrochemical and hydrobiological characteristics of the bay sea environment in the digital format defined by user, to perform the construction of vertical distributions, and also to calculate some ecological indexes. The final version of the system is expected to be posted on the official website of Marine Hydrophysical Institute.
Highlights
The global implementation of geographic information systems both into the practice of scientific research and cartographic data representation allows more naturally to perceive of the spatial distribution of different fields and objects on the earth’s surface and even in sea depths
It is difficult to imagine a single information system for the whole of the world’s oceans and they are most often developed in the form of regional structures
A few GIS for Black Sea region have been developed in Marine Hydrophysical Institute (Zhuk 2016; Konovalov 2013)
Summary
The global implementation of geographic information systems both into the practice of scientific research and cartographic data representation allows more naturally to perceive of the spatial distribution of different fields and objects on the earth’s surface and even in sea depths. The main leaflet advantage is the ability to represent a vector graphics in the network with use of online map services like MapBox, OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, Yandex Maps, etc This is a very important fact allows to exclude from developing of GIS tools the process of base map creating and to focused on the data representation. Due to the objective loss of all research vessels in the 1990s, the role of coastal observations has increased, the number of which is increasing too, along with the growing importance of these data for the economic development of the Crimea In view of these circumstances, the institute has developed a strategy of popularization of coastal observation data in order to support decision-making on the management of the sea coastal zone, aimed at ensuring the environmental sustainability of the territories for the development of recreational and economic factors.
