Software:
The interactive map is powered by ESRI's ArcIMS web mapping software and is configured and displayed using Latitude Geographics'TM Geocortex Internet mapping framework.

Data:
 The layers for the map are served dynamically by Microsoft SQL Server based on the users interactions with the map. The previous five days of CIMIS temperature data are downloaded automatically in CSV (comma separated values) format every morning from an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) site using a Microsoft SQL Server DTS (Data Transformation Services) Package. The temperature data is then automatically linked to the CIMIS station point layer and can be view immediately.
Project Description
The goal of this GIS project is to produce distribution maps of average maximum daily temperature achieved for 3, 4, and 5 consecutive days in the San Joaquin Valley to be used for mitigation decisions.

Mapping Climate Thresholds
The source data consisted of signed 16-bit raster (gridded) data of daily maximum temperature for the State of California. The raster data was interpolated from specific point data by ZedX, Inc. using their proprietary methods. The dates of the data ranged from 1 January 1992 through 29 April 2002, inclusive.
