Abstract
 Using GIS in Preparing Combat Climatological Products and Services Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Bruce Burleson, Daniel Wunder This presentation will highlight the GIS techniques utilized to provide combat climatological products and services to the DoD community by the Air Force Combat Climatology Center (AFCCC), Asheville, NC. These techniques will include the use of ArcInfo, Python geoprocessing scripts to automate raster generation, Spatial Analyst, and Tracking Analyst to build climatological products. Additionally, the presentation will address AFCCC use of the Australian National University's ANUSPLIN interpolation software to build rasters which consider multi-variate surfaces such as elevation combined with temperature, precipitation, slope, wind direction, etc., and then subsequently ingest them into ArcInfo to build the final climatological product. The discussion will include future AFCCC initiatives to extend Web-based, GIS-enabled customer support and deploy interactive web services on all enclaves. And finally, it will address efforts to move towards Machine-to-Machine (M2M) climatology support with C2 systems and focus on those challenges along the way ahead.
