Research and GIS
Center
Research and GIS Center (RGISC)
of the State Hydrometeorological Service conducts research in the field of
hydrometeorology and environmental quality monitoring to ensure the institution
subdivisions with methodological scientific support.
The specialists of the center have experience in
processing and interpretation of meteorological, hydrological and environmental
quality monitoring information, combining these competences with abilities in
the field of geographic information systems.
In this context, within the RGISC are performed:
- elaboration
of methodological scientific materials in the areas of activity of the Service;
- elaboration
of scientific publications in the areas of activity of the Service;
- track
of scientific and practical achievements in the field of GIS;
- cartographic
materials for the elaboration of forecasts, the analysis of certain processes or
actions of meteorological factors;
- cartographic
materials for the website of the Service;
- digital
maps of land use, updated from satellite images;
- different
spatial maps and thematic maps;
- thematically
dedicated GIS databases;
- products
derived from GIS info-plans (basins and sub-basins surface, average altitude of
sub-basins, the forest area, forestation coefficient etc.);
- digital
model of the elevation of the terrain and derived products (slope, exposure,
altitude floors, topographic profiles etc.);
- hazard
and flood, drought risk maps etc.;
- model
of flood risk in floodplains of large rivers and small rivers;
- maps
of flood, drought hit areas;
- estimates
of water reserves in the snow, expressed as volume and average water layer of
hydropower and water supply basins;
- agrometeorological
and biophysical parameters of vegetation cover derived from satellite data (soil
surface temperature, real evapo-transpiration, leaf index, biomass, spatial
structure, vegetation indices etc.);
- accidental
pollution risk modeling in floodplains of large rivers;
- methodological
guidelines for the use of GIS technologies in spatial analysis of
hydrometeorological phenomena and processes and their forecast.
