WHAT IS A MAP PROJECTION?

The graticule of a geographic coordinate system is projected onto

a cylindrical projection surface.
 Conformal projections

Equal area projections

Equidistant projections

True-direction projections
 Important Concepts

There are several concepts may be well understood before working on GIS, they are :

The Concept of Raster image and Vector image.

The concept of interpolation.

The Concept of Raster and Vector Image:

Classes

Step 4: Determine the weight for each reclassed data sets:

The data sets The Weight

Distance from the Gate 30%
Distance from the Gusting 30%
Slope 30%
Flow Accumulation 10%

[Reclass-Accum - Reclass-Accum] * 0.1 + [ReclassD2Gate - ReclassD2Gate] * 0.3 +

[Reclass-Slope - Reclass-Slope] * 0.3 + [Rec-D2Gust - Rec-D2Gust] * 0.3
