Air Force Combat Climatology Center (AFCCC) Applications of ArcView GIS and ArcView Spatial Analyst
Allen C. RabaydaN/A , N/A
This paper describes AFCCC's use of ArcView GIS and ArcView Spatial Analyst in managing, maintaining quality controls, and visualizing hundreds of thousands of climatological records. We are able to filter, audit, and perform quality checks on weather data by linking several ArcView GIS tables and views simultaneously. By auditing atmospheric measurements made from the surface to altitudes above 60,000 feet, we identify geographic areas or observation sites with unacceptable or erroneous weather data. Lastly, we use ArcView GIS and ArcView Spatial Analyst to display multiple weather data elements, build homogeneous data groups, and provide summary statistics of those groups.
