An Update of the CPC/CTB GIS ProjectCollaboration with NCDC/NIDIS Viviane Silva & Lloyd Thomas 11 September 2008
CPC/CTB & The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) • CPC/CTB is a member of the NIDIS GIS Team • Our GIS DATA conversion is in support of Drought Monitoring • Some of our GIS products are displayed on the NIDIS portal
Motivation • Many user communities would like to use CPC products in their GIS applications. • Geographic Information System (GIS) format requests are increasing rapidly. • The interoperability among GIS products makes them desirable.
E-Mail from one of the Drought Monitoring Authors • “I would say I use quite a bit of CPC data when preparing the U.S. Drought Monitor (and our regular monthly State of the Climate drought reports).” • “As a USDM author, I would find it extremely helpful if CPC products were in a GIS format that I could easily import into the USDM ArcMap project to overlay on top of the USDM map and other indicators.”
Example of CPC products used by the USDM Authors Land Surface Monitoring and PredictionCPC Leaky Bucket Model • Soil Moisture • Evaporation • Precipitation • Runoff • Temperature Yun Fan is responsible for all the products displayed in this webpage. Yun.Fan@noaa.gov
Seasonal Drought Outlook • CPC issues the U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook twice each month.
NIDIS – GIS Resources • CPC GIS Data • All CPC web products that have been converted to GIS format (Shapefile and GeoTiff) are available via ftp.www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/GIS/GIS_DATA/
GeoServer: CPC GIS Layers http://www.cpcgis.ncep.noaa.gov/ Web Mapping Services (WMS) that meet the standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)
ArcGIS Server • The NOAA/Web Operation Center (WOC) has agreed to host CPC GIS products. • CPC will have to buy two ArcGIS licenses for the WOC – we are looking for funds • This software allows processing, extraction and display of GIS geo-referenced datasets • The server also allows distribution of metadata
