Elements of software package for “cloud” analysis of the environment and climate change

Abstract

Abstract The architecture and new basic components of an information and computing software package are presented. It is based on a software framework dedicated to carrying out scientific research related to statistical processing and analysis of spatial geophysical data archives obtained from observations and modelling. To create the package, experience in the development of some information-computational web GISs for processing of large amounts of spatial data has been used. The basic components of this complex are represented by several procedures for searching, sampling, and processing of spatial data arrays, as well as by elements of a graphical user interface. The flexible structure of the computing unit of this software complex provides a possibility of operative expansion of its functionality by using additional procedures for mathematical and statistical analysis, processing, and graphical representation of the results in the form of graphs, diagrams, and plots on maps of the territory of interest.
