NCAR GIS Program :Bridging Gaps
Jennifer Boehnert
GIS Coordinator
NCAR
Scope of work
Animation
NCAR GIS Program
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
CCSM: Community Climate System Model
Climate change on the map Distributing CCSM IPCC
projections (monthly averages) in a GIS format
GIS – a tool of many stakeholders (land and resource management)

Statistical downscaling of CCSM runs
From 155 km to 4.5 km grid cell
Monthly temperature and precipitation projections for the continental U.S.

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.
