REDIAM. WMS Quality map of Andalusia's night sky

Description

WMS service corresponding to the first predictive map through which the darkness of the Andalusian night sky can be known at any point of the territory, without the need for expensive measurement campaigns. It has a resolution of 100m. For its elaboration, an extensive night sky brightness measurement campaign has been carried out between 2011 and 2015 in which more than 40,000 measurements have been taken. This information, contrasted with satellite images and with the help of advanced statistical functions and geographic information systems, has been extrapolated to the entire Autonomous Community allowing, on the one hand, to determine the quality of the night sky at any point in the Andalusian territory and on the other, to serve as a reference to verify the impact of the measures launched since the approval of Regulation 357/2010, of Decree 357/2010, of 3 August. Node of the Andalusian Environmental Information Network. Regional Government of Andalusia. Integrated in the Spatial Data Infrastructure of Andalusia, following the guidelines of the Cartographic System of Andalusia.
