This is reflected in the term <em>MetGIS<\/em>, which is composed of the syllables &#8220;Met&#8221; (for meteorology) and &#8220;GIS&#8221; (for geographic information systems). MetGIS has clear advantages over conventional forecasting systems, especially over mountainous terrain, because the exact altitude and location of forecast points are incorporated into the forecast process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-7mff7-7b067501cae40525902b1fc91ba55110 av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lu8gb4hj-5e2516cdd58f7e3fc3529e13a88bd3d4\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lu8gb4hj-5e2516cdd58f7e3fc3529e13a88bd3d4 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lu8gb4hj-5e2516cdd58f7e3fc3529e13a88bd3d4 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lu8gb4hj-5e2516cdd58f7e3fc3529e13a88bd3d4 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-28  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  circles'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-1236 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1236 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/metgis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/calc-whiteboard-442x538.jpg\" alt='' title='calc-whiteboard'  height=\"538\" width=\"442\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metgis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/calc-whiteboard-442x538.jpg 442w, https:\/\/metgis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/calc-whiteboard-246x300.jpg.webp 246w, https:\/\/metgis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/calc-whiteboard-768x935.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/metgis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/calc-whiteboard-846x1030.jpg.webp 846w, https:\/\/metgis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/calc-whiteboard-568x691.jpg.webp 568w, https:\/\/metgis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/calc-whiteboard-234x285.jpg 234w, https:\/\/metgis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/calc-whiteboard.jpg 884w, https:\/\/metgis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/calc-whiteboard-234x285@2x.jpg 468w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
