Over the last decade, research has greatly increased into the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in a variety of applications that involve the processing of climatological and meteorological data. This upsurge of interest is related directly to the fall in price of ‘commercial off-the-shelf’ GIS products together with large advances in computer processing ability. Add to this the proliferation of the Internet and the result is a set of fast real-time bespoke solutions and visualisations for many national meterological services and end-users.
