In-Depth Information
During last years the GIMS was successfully tested and applied in many
countries in the World including Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Vietnam, Cuba, USA
and Holland (Krapivin and Shutko 2012). It has been proven that the advantages of
GIMS application consist
first of all in the following capabilities:
contours of water seepage through hydrotechnical constructions (levees, dams,
destroyed drainage systems, different kinds of leaks);
biomass of vegetation above a water surface or wet ground;
increase in temperature in land, forested and volcano areas;
changes in salinity/mineralization and temperature of a water surface;
water surface pollution, oil slicks on a water surface;
on-ground snow melting; and
ice on a water surface and on the roads, runways.
Thus, the GIMS provides remote sensing, on-ground (in situ) samplings, using
GIS-information and mathematical modeling of physics-chemical processes in
selected areas. GIMS-technology can effectively be applied for solving many
agricultural, hydrological, environmental and many other Earth related problems. In
common, GIMS-technology solves numerous environmental tasks that GIS tech-
nology struggles with, such as:
The study of environmental processes and systems that change quickly and are
unstable.
Assessing the ecosystems in regions where monitoring systems do not exist.
Optimization of the environmental monitoring systems.
Reconstruction of spatial
image of
the system basing on the restricted
information.
Revealing the characteristic features of the environmental system evolution.
