Transcript AHAS MAP(BAM) - United States Air Force Avian Hazard

The Avian Hazard Advisory system has upgraded
to a new windows 2007 web server.
The new web server requires new ESRI software to
display the MAP(BAM), ArcGIS server 9.3. But
only our server requires the software, the user
should not have to install anything.
The MAP(BAM) had to be completely re-designed.
As with the old map, this map only shows the
historical risk based on breeding bird surveys and
the Christmas bird count. No data from NEXRAD,
our soaring model or our migration model are
included.

The new map looks very different than the old
map and it has some new features as well.
The new map size is adjustable for larger (or
smaller) monitors.
When a layer is turned on, the map will
automatically be added, without using a “refresh”
button.
The identify tool will identify any layer, without
having to make a layer “active”.
New tools include: full extent, back extent, forward
extent, magnifier, measure and overview map.
A variety of “base” layers are available.
AHAS web page
The starting web page is
unchanged.
Make your area and time period
selections and then click the
MAP(BAM) button.
MAP(BAM)
The selected area is highlighted in
cyan. This color does not represent
any risk, it only highlights the
selected area. The layer the area is
from is also turned on. For SR038
the SR polygon is turned on.
There are 3 layer groups in the
“Map contents” section.
The “selection” group shows the
selected area.
The BAM group has various layers
including the polygon layer for the
selected area and the base maps.
The Risk group contains the BAM
risk layers. The risk layer colors are
green = low, beige=moderate,
red=severe.
Tools
There are various tools available in
the upper left and right of the map.
In the upper left corner there are
pan and zoom tools.
In the upper right there are zoom
tools and an identify tool.
The back extent tool will change
the map to the previous extent and
the forward extent tool will change
it back to the last extent.
The magnifier will magnify the
area within the magnifier. Just
move it over the area you want to
view.
The measure tool will measure area
and line distance in various units.
Risk layers
The risk layers are the same layers
used in the previous map.
In the Map Contents section, each
biweek is displayed in the “Risk”
group.
Within each biweek group, the
daily periods are listed.

Various groups are available under
the “USA Base Map” section.
