APPLICATION OF RS/GIS FOR MONITORING TYPHOON AND STORM IN THAILAND

摘要

A monsoon storm monitoring system aims at developing a database in which various geographical data oceanographic data, meteorological data and remote sensing data from diverse sources into a unified database. The system has been implemented to monitor the three major typhoon events namely; Linda, Muifa and tropical storm Washi. The information obtained from the system can provide more knowledge and understanding on occurring movement of a storm, which could not be gathered directly by surveying or hand-held instruments. The benefit of integrated data will also lead to a better understanding of the relation of climate change and marine environment.
