Data analysis with GIS
When trying to relate wetland maps to rainfall amounts recorded at different points, it can be difficult to do so, especially in places such as airports, schools, and television stations. A GIS can be used to visualize two-dimensional and three-dimensional characteristics of the Earth’s surface. This also includes the atmosphere and subsurface from informational points as well. GIS can quickly generate map data from contour lines that have the ability to give the indications of differing amounts of precipitation. This type of map is called a rainfall contour map. Many methods are able to estimate the characteristics of surfaces from limited point measurements and require a high level of sophistication to do so accurately. ...
