GIS Software, Hardware, and Sources of GIS Data01:23

GIS Software, Hardware, and Sources of GIS Data

92
A Geographic Information System (GIS) combines specialized software and hardware to effectively manage, analyze, and present spatial and related data. GIS software includes critical functionalities such as a user interface for easy navigation, database management tools for handling spatial and attribute data, and data retrieval features for efficient access. Analytical tools transform raw data into insights, while display functions produce maps and reports in various formats for effective...

Selected Data About Geographic Locations01:25

Selected Data About Geographic Locations

43
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) rely on two core types of data: spatial data and attribute data.Spatial DataSpatial data defines the physical location of features within a coordinate system, typically expressed in terms of latitude and longitude. It provides precise positioning for elements like roads, rivers, or buildings.Attribute DataAttribute data complements spatial data by adding descriptive information about these features. For example, a road's spatial data includes its start and...

Precipitation Gravimetry01:03

Precipitation Gravimetry

6.7K
Precipitation gravimetry is based on converting an analyte into a sparingly soluble precipitate, which is separated by filtration and weighed. An ideal precipitate should be pure, insoluble, of known composition, and easily filtered from the reaction mixture.
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...

Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response

105
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...

Levels of Use of a GIS01:29

Levels of Use of a GIS

71
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

24.5K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Area of Science:

  • Earth and environmental science
  • Data science
  • Cloud computing

Background:

  • The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) holds vast amounts of critical environmental data.
  • Public access to large-scale environmental datasets is essential for scientific advancement and informed decision-making.
  • Existing data dissemination methods may not be optimized for cloud-native workflows and petabyte-scale access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document the NOAA Open Data Dissemination (NODD) program.
  • To explain the program's focus on data provenance, key datasets, and utilization.
  • To guide users on accessing NOAA environmental data within cloud environments.

Main Methods:

  • Leveraging cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for data hosting.
  • Organizing and making accessible diverse NOAA datasets, including satellite imagery, radar, weather models, observations, ocean databases, and climate records.
  • Implementing robust data management to support petabyte-scale access and billions of daily requests.

Main Results:

  • NODD currently provides access to over 24 petabytes (PB) of NOAA data.
  • The platform supports billions of requests and petabytes of data access daily.
  • Over 5 PB of NODD data are accessed monthly by stakeholders.

Conclusions:

  • The NODD program successfully enables open, petabyte-scale Earth system data science in the cloud.
  • Continued growth and exploration of performant data formats will further enhance data accessibility.
  • Facilitating cloud-based access to NOAA data accelerates scientific research and application.
