METEOINFORMATICS AND METEOINFORMATION SYSTEMS

Andrei Vorobev, Gulnara Vorobeva

Abstract

For the last few decades the information technologies have become an inseparable part of the modern society life. Their level is one of the key indicators of the countryпїЅs scientific and technical progress, which determines the quality of life of the citizens. Today the thing is that an effective functioning of national economy, research or services sectors branches is impossible without their integration with advanced information and (or) communication technologies. Due to the integration we have such synthetic technologies and knowledge spheres as geoinformatics, scientific visualization, bioinformatics, agroinformatics, geophysical informatics and many others. So, the term пїЅmeteoinformaticsпїЅ is suggested by authors as scientific and applied area of knowledge and technology, which includes searching, scientific proving and realization of the meteodata (data about the EarthпїЅs atmosphere properties and physical and chemical processes there) processing and management main methods as well as approaches of computer modeling, automated analytical control and forecast of their parameters to increase an operativeness of observation and early warning of dangerous meteorological phenomena. The main method of meteoinformatics are computer, mathematical and spatial modeling, which are used to get new knowledge about structure, relations and dynamic properties of the Earth's atmosphere and its place in the physical and chemical processes. Meteoinformation systems are a special class of information and analytical systems, which is intended to collect, store, process, visualize and control data about the EarthпїЅs atmosphere properties and physical and chemical processes there. A structure of meteoinformation system (as well as any other information system) in general includes functional and organizational components, as well as components of data processing and interpretation. So, meteoinformatics and meteoinformation systems are based of achievements in meteorology, informatics and geophysics as well as use digital signal processing, remote sensing, effective methods of atmosphere observation, scientific visualization, heterogeneous data management and statistical processing. Meteoinformatics and meteoinformation systems are supposed to answer a series of complex and relevant to contemporary humanity scientific questions with a pronounced applied character, including: - what a natural phenomenon (physical and chemical) is observed in the Earth's atmosphere at a predetermined interval of time, space or frequency range, what are its options, the most likely scenario, the current phase and the level of threat; - what is the extent to which the observed parameters of the Earth's atmosphere with the applicable standards, safety standards, technical regulations and guidelines in this area.
