MotivationMotivation
• The user communities that are adept at using GIS data would like to include CPC products in their applications.
• Geographic Information System (GIS) format requests are increasing.
• GIS products have interoperability and thus broad applications capabilities

CPC FY08 GIS MilestonesCPC FY08 GIS Milestones
• Convert selected CPC data to GIS format: (Shapefile and GeoTiff)
- Daily Temperature Analyses (United States) - Sea Surface Temperature (Global) - US temperature and precipitation outlooks
• Products will be displayed on the web by end of FY08

ArcGIS ServerArcGIS Server
• The CPC has acquired a copy of the ArcGIS Server Enterprise for Linux
• This software allows processing, extraction and display of GIS geo-referenced datasets including
• Shapefiles • ESRI layers • Raster datasets (geoTIFF) • Other formats using world files
• The server also allows distribution of metadata

NOAA / Web Operation CenterNOAA / Web Operation Center• All NCEP GIS products will be delivered to the public
via the ArcGIS server at the WOC by the end of FY08.
CPC played a key role in the decision to establish the GIS Server on the WOC.

CPC & The National Integrated CPC & The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS)Drought Information System (NIDIS)
• CPC is a member of the NIDIS GIS Team
• CPC GIS DATA conversion in support of Drought Monitoring
• Some of CPC GIS products will be displayed via the NIDIS portal

Facilitating the Transition of Facilitating the Transition of CPC Products to GIS FormatCPC Products to GIS Format
• The Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS, http://iges.org/grads) is widely used around the world by the climate community including at CPC
• GrADS developed, maintained, and supported by the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA)
• GrADS is the core software used to generate vast majority of CPC’s web products distributed to the public

Enhancements to GrADSEnhancements to GrADS
• GrADS will be enhanced by adding GIS vector and raster formats as output options
• GrADS scripts used for product generation at CPC will be modified to produce output in GIS format in addition to the native grids and graphical formats already produced
