Goals and program elements

Conduct research integrating the Earth system and social sciences through spatial analysis and interoperability of georeferenced information;

Support the use of GIS as both an analysis, and an infrastructure tool in atmospheric research;

Improve usable science and knowledge sharing between science groups, educators and stakeholders.

Atmospheric Data Model

Working dialog between ESRI and weather and climate community: Five workshops in 2004-

2008

The goal is seamless integration of atmospheric and oceanographic data: Observations Products Infrastructure

NetCDF in ArcGIS

Since 2006 release of ArcGIS 9.2 NetCDF CF format can be read in GIS Opens atmospheric and oceanographic data to millions of GIS

users

Adopting NetCDF CF data format by ESRI GIS software

Extreme Weather Application

Develop an interactive web mapping application which integrates weather forecast models with socio-economic and infrastructure data

Making weather models more useful and understandable for non-meteorologists

Communicate the impacts from extreme weather events

Visualization

Dynamically adds netCDF WRF Hurricane model through ArcGIS Server

Using ArcGIS Online free map as background

Symbolized based on hurricane wind scale (Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale) and accumulated rain.
