Geospatial Data Processing for Biometeorology. Mapping the Difference of Oxygen in the Atmospheric Surface

Abstract

Biometeorology is the field that relates meteorological and climatic variables with humans, animals and the environment in order to be studied jointly with their geographical distribution. The wide variety of data sources and the highly specialised data formats are fundamental issues for users in this area. This paper presents some preliminary results and several underlying technologies used to create a system to manage spatial data. Some sources of information are presented as a basis for biometeorological studies, together with a procedure for downloading and transforming the datasets. The resulting maps and data files derived from this study are useful for data analysis in other scientific fields.
