Climate, Seasons and Weather in the Himalayas - Worksheet introduction   Meteosat-5 image     Some of the following exercises require the use of the LEOWorks software. LEOWorks has been developed by the ESA. ArcExplorer is a lightweight GIS data viewer developed by ESRI. This freely available software offers an easy way to perform basic GIS functions. ArcExplorer is used for a variety of display, query, and data retrieval applications and supports a wide variety of standard data sources. It can be used on its own with local data sets or as a client for Internet data and map servers.
