Geographical Information System(GIS) "Hydrometeorology of the Black and Azov Seas" being developed for needs of Hydrometeorological Service of Ukraine aims to provide easy access to archival of oceanographic and meteorological information of the region. The main data sources are the network of 64 shore and estuarine stations, cruises of research vessels in Black Sea and archive synoptic maps. The package can be displayed by its variables : pressure, wind, clouds, precipitation, sea level, waves and river runoff. Period of observations ranges from 10 to 100 years depending on variable and location.GIS provides access to an information of different level of processing : raw data, daily averaged data, long-term (monthly , yearly, anomalies), climatological (means, extremes). Visualization capabilities allow to combine data of various type e.g. graph of sea level time-series on station, map of wind and digitized bottom topography. Cartographic layers include bathymetry, rivers, land relief. The system has been designed using Delphi 3.0.
