Cartographic representation of the geomorphological and climatic characteristics of Wasit Governorate using geographic information systems

Abstract

The research seeks to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools for the purpose of adopting them in the cartographic representation of climatic characteristics, specifically thermal characteristics represented by (solar radiation, maximum and minimum temperatures, and thermal range), in addition to wind speed, relative humidity, and rainfall. The map is one of the most prominent methods of visual analysis in our current era, as it is possible to analyze phenomena with high accuracy and scientific accuracy with a reduction in effort and time. One of the most prominent findings of the study is that the climatic elements as a whole take a real representation in modern technologies, especially by adopting the tools provided by these technologies, the most prominent of which is (IDW).
