Servir-viz for climate change
The servir-Viz’s climate change project is working under the USAID which is a governing body to give comprehensive regional climate change scenarios of Mesoamerica for years. This project will work for feature years such as year 2010, 2015, 2025 and 2050. The climate model of earth explorer is being supported by university and national center for atmospheric research model and it is processed on oak ridge national laboratory cheetah super computer.
The goal of Servir-viz’s climate change model is to make people aware of various catastrophic events of climate change. These changes can be shown on various models of earth browser. It also shows effects of green house gas emissions and changes in land use. It also gives qualitative measurements on earth related issues such as how it will affects human population and what are side effects on humans, it helped to identity and develops adaptive management strategies for responding these changes.
Servir-Viz’s climate change model is available on servir-viz website, through a single click on image viewer icon, user may see various change scenarios and they may search through keywords on servir-viz data portal. User may download latest climate change scenarios and other datasets. User those are looking to visit detail information on this product, then they need to make search through keyword “climate” on servir-viz data portal.
User may find some extra links on servir viz data portal such as tercer information and evolution 2001, regional annual average temperature and drought information.
Users may see real time image viewer icon on servir-viz data portal to view and animate these products. Users may click servir-viz icon to download and install a three-dimensional viewer to view, animate and compare these products. The servir-viz data portal icon is used to search and download servir-viz related data products.
The climatology is used to observe clouds over particular location over a specified time. It helps to measure frequency of occurrence of the clouds and it is defined by percentage of observation for which clouds are observed. It can be computed daily or monthly. If the frequency of the cloud is 50 percent then it means clouds were observed over a particular location 15 out of 30 days. Therefore, clouds affects human being life on the earth and thus it becomes essential for human being to understand its impact on human being. The earth browser is used to observe climate change very effectively; therefore, it helps people to understand various aspects of climatology.
After taking satellite data and imagery from servir climate change model, researchers and scientists evaluates values brought from observations and thus it helps them to understand various impacts on human beings such as floods , rainfalls, thundershowers, show falls, atmospheric pressure and severe storms.
In other works, earth browser is an effective tool to measure various climate related issues, it also help scientists to know more about climate related issues and its impact on human being
