Web Platform for accessing and providing climatic data
Abstract
Weather and climate forecast are very important tools for decision making in several areas, for instance, in agriculture, hydrology and power generation. The combination of modern technologies and readily available environmental data provides a valuable mechanism to increase productivity and minimize climate risks. The subject of this meta-paper is the development of a toolkit to automate data requests, providing access and visualization of data generated by the weather forecast and climate models from CPTEC/INPE.
