Behind every successful and developing country, a major role is played by its import and export division. Not every country is well equipped with all kinds of raw materials. So, in order to fulfill the needs of the common people the countries have to import some of the important things from other countries. Also, for international trading some of the countries opt for an import system in order to get those goods which they are unable to produce and later on they sell these goods at a high price to other countries. So, in this process you can see that transportation plays a vital role. Goods like oil or petroleum are transported from one country to the other by mediums like oil tankers, ships etc. And, when it comes to the land it is shifted to the consumers via pipelines. Now let us understand more about what is pipeline GIS and how it helps the transportation process.

A pipeline map is the first thing any company needs, because it supplies information regarding the route each pipeline follows. It is not very easy to keep tack of a tube that covers an area that sometimes exceeds a few hundred miles.

The pipeline GIS is a system that is capable of storing, integrating, analyzing, editing, sharing and displaying the much needed information regarding any pipeline. The whole idea behind this concept is based on user interactive queries

A pipeline GIS is very easy to use and it provides the needed information in no time as opposed to the research you would have to do to gain it. You establish your point of interest, select what you want and the results are displayed in an instant. This will save you precious time and you can go on with your activities a lot faster than the traditional way.

In brief, the GIS is nothing but an advanced set of tools which will help you to collect and analyze all sorts of data related to the pipeline. With the help of GIS you can even perform tasks like marketing, monitoring, investigating, logistics and also asset management system.

The pipeline GIS concept was developed by Intergraph, ESRI, MapInfo and Autodesk. In the past few years this technology has witnessed a lot of success stories and in the coming years it will reach such a height that it will be considered as an integral part of the import system. Moreover, with the help of advanced technologies like the internet, satellite and GPS the concept of pipeline GIS will break all boundaries and will become even more advanced, and this will prove to be even more beneficial.

In recent years, there has been an explosion of activity in the computerized mapping industry, known as Geographic Information Systems (or GIS for short). Advances in Internet-based GIS platforms and the rapid adoption of broadband have allowed countries, states, and cities to start distributing geographic datasets of their territories through their own websites. The availability of geographic data has never been greater.

GIS or Geographical Information Systems comes to the play in weather forecasting and analysis, because it is one of the best ways to represent the weather information in graphical way. This includes graphical representations such as plotting weather observations over base maps, indicating the real time weather situations over specific country or region, visualizing weather parameters and even to represent forecasts in the same manner. This method is clearer, more precise, more straightforward and even easily understandable by a non-subject oriented people. It would also help the forecasters to get a better understanding on current weather situation or even to make predictions themselves by giving them the upper hand over the existing tedious numeric representation methods

That’s why the integration of weather software and GIS is a natural fit. In fact, many government and private weather agencies have been harnessing these advances to provide more accurate, more timely weather information to their customers by distributing weather data in standardized GIS formats.
In order to prepare weather forecasts, the forecaster plots information of the atmosphere around the globe on a weather chart. The plotted data is analyzed with the help of contours and surfaces to bring out the weather systems in the atmosphere at various levels. The analyzed weather becomes initial condition for the conventional synoptic weather forecasts and GCMs for prognostication of weather in the coming days. The capability of GIS software in handling the spatial data in an easier way coupled with the different analysis tools available make it a viable tool for its adoption in weather forecasting.
