Climate Maps

Extraction of several climate elements (precipitation, temperature, cloudness) from 0,5° x 0,5° interpolated data of weather stations in follow work steps:

• Determination the area under investigation
• Trimming the data
• Creation of an interpolated surface for several month resp. sums
• For visuality - creation of a Power Point presentation (download)
