SOME GIS APPLICATIONS WITH - Climatology -
Meteorology

• 1. GIS main features
• 2. Usual applications
• 3. Some emerging questions

1. GIS MAIN FEATURES

• Territorial combination of data
• with numeric spatial operators (raster GIS)
• with logical spatial operators (vector GIS)
• Types of questions outputs
• from map to D.B. gt table
• from D.B. to CAD gt map
• sequential query algorithm, simulation

2. Usual applications

• Meteorology mapping for
• forecasting (small/medium scale)
• agriculture/fishery (small/medium scale)
• natural hazards
• Climatology GIS mapping for
• scientific research
• applied research (ex. Peguy, Joly, Quayrol)

3. Some emerging questions

• Air pollution in local areas
• Noise propagation in urban areas
• Health, climate and environment
• Natural risks forecasting
• etc...
• gt local/subregional , CM in combination with
  other themes (global approach), importance of
  socio-economic aspects,

3.1 Air pollution general approach
6
3.1 Rôle of M. in pollutant dispersion
7
3.1 Rôle in pollutant production (ex. O3,
isoprene in winter / summer)
8

• Open questions
• micro-meteo mecanisms in conjunction with
  chemical gas combinations
• models of dispersion in mountainous areas
• 3D local meteo data

9
3.2 Noise propagation meteo cond.
10
3.2 Mapping noise vulnerability
11
3.3 GIS, health climate

• Example Emercase project
• propagation of fever epidemies (W Africa)
• increase the WHO Healthmapper with a set of
  calendar maps showing increasing propagation
  risk according to land use, cumulative rain and
  temperature, others
• prepare the health organization to face it

3.4 Risk simulation forest fire
13
3.4 Risk simulation river overflow

GIS use in MeteorologyClimatology

• quite often large scales (planning)
• everydays decision forecast support
• CM spatially combined with other data
• to achieve it
• GIS is useful / necessary
• GIS is insufficient
