and download images in GeoTIFF format (geo-referenced image). (Figure 10) The application has been developed for the user to load new layers of information, for which it is necessary to transform each layer from shape format to xml format.

1.3.3 Display of Climate Model Products The goal of the Climate Modeling Products display is to create an application on which the end user can display products from different numerical climate models (Fig 11).
Figure 13. Display Screen Climate Model Products, Air Temperature variable since its creation, the goal of the application is to publish books, magazines, reports, presentations, CDs, and more free access information sources and to disseminate it to the general public. (Figure 14)
Figure 11. Home Screen Numerical Modeling Products Display The developed Web interface allows the user to choose the climate model he wants to view and select the dates on which forecasts have been made. Once the user has chosen the date, he can select the domain and the climate variable, and then, the corresponding product will be displayed. (Figure 12) The interface on which numerical modeling products are published is Google Earth satellite images interface, which makes this application a topographic information tool that is allows to visualize areas of different altitudes when analyzing climate forecasts.
