NeoCLIM / CLIMATE DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
TO BE RELEASED SOON
There are many practical day-to-day uses for climate information. Some activities, like construction, aviation, and agriculture, are more sensitive. But to a certain degree, almost everything depends upon the weather and, hence, climate.
NeoCLIM is the perfect solution: a combination between speed and large amount of information.
