Rootfact's GIS for Spatial Data Analysis
When it comes to weather, understanding how atmospheric conditions interact with geographical locations is the key. Through this technology, GIS has revolutionized weather industry by making it possible to visualize and analyze meteorological data within a spatial context. Rootfacts Company is one of the leading providers of weather technology solutions which leverages on GIS to give users location specific weather insights.
This extensive guide explores how GIS integrates with weather data at Rootfacts, its applications and significance as well as how it empowers users when it comes to making decisions about their peculiar interaction between location and climate.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the Weather Industry by Rootfacts Company
Bridging the Gap: Understanding GIS and Weather Data
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are computer packages that capture, store, process, manage, display and output geographic information. This information consists a variety of components such as:
Spatial Data
his refers to the position and shape of features on the earth’s surface like rivers, points for weather stations and city polygons boundary.
Attribute Data
It provides additional description about spatial data such as temperature precipitation and wind speed for example may form part of weather station data.
On the other hand, air measurements include temperature precipitation wind speed humidity and atmospheric pressure among others. Traditionally analyzed in isolation from other parameters but through GIS they can be put into geographical content alongside other weather conditions enabling visualization.
