The South African Weather Service (SAWS) operates a nationwide network of ground-based meteorologic radar stations (National Weather Radar Network), providing data continuity in some regions dating back to 1994, which is unique for southern africa. The incoming data is processed and archived using the TITAN software package[1]. Thematic digital maps are derived which can be accessed through the...

Common practice suggests that the assessment of wind and solar energy resources is based on data obtained from existing weather stations operated by the national meteorological services and other public services. Usually, these stations are placed at populated locations (for example airports, ports, urban, rural and protected areas) to support weather analysis, forecasts and warnings, local wea...

BACKGROUND Maps can portray trends, patterns, and spatial differences that might be overlooked in tabular data and are now widely used in health research. Little has been reported about the process of using maps to communicate epidemiological findings. METHOD Population weighted raster maps show colour changes over the study area. Similar to the rasters of barometric pressure in a weather map...

We present a system for procedurally generating a map for a story-driven game, where locations in the map are assigned algorithmically or by designer preference. In addition, we also generate terrain, together with climate to match the terrain, with smooth, coherent transitions between terrain exhibiting different weather. We summarize weather approximations using a tuple to represent condition...

Bangladesh suffered damage on accounts of the most catastrophic flood during the year of 1988, resulting in untold suffering to the people, crops were lost, lives were lost, infrastructures were damaged, and so on. The flood problem is therefore great important. The present study dealt by using MOS-1, MESSR data with other thematic maps to evaluate the affect and damage area in collaboration wi...

The interior of the Sun is filled acoustic waves with periods of about 5 min. These waves, called "p modes," are understood to be excited by convection in a thin layer beneath the Sun's surface. The p modes cause seismic ripples, which we call "the solar oscillations." Helioseismic observatories use Doppler observations to map these oscillations, both spatially and temporally. The p modes propa...

The goal of this research is the determining of planting date and providing agricultural calendar for corn in Kermanshah province using climatic elements of temperature and rain fall. so, at first, long term  climatic statistics are collected from 2001 to 2011  and then  considered to temperature and rain fall parameters like  absolute maximum and minimum  in region during growth period, planti...
