Dynamic Atlas
Dynamic Atlas (DA) is a suite of information publishing and access tools developed by FAO Environmental Assessment and Management Unit (NRCE) and SKE Inc., Canada.
Dynamic Atlas allows the publishing of maps, databases, and documents from global to local scale by using technologies easy to implement and use.

Dynamic Atlas suite of applications
 
DA components

Dynamic Maps: is the GIS viewer of atlases.

Dynamic Knowledgebase: provides the ability to quickly and easily set up and manage atlases.

Dynamic Publisher: enables atlases and Dynamic Maps to be packaged for broad dissemination on CD/DVD.

Dynamic Web Maps Server: enables publishing of atlases over the Internet.
Atlas content

shaded relief Myanmar The atlas contains 23 basic layers (the figure on the right shows the shaded relief derived from SRTM 90m data) and 187 thematic maps derived from agricultural statistics and climate data. The complete list of themes and their description is available at this link.

The following topic groups: General, Physical and Climate, contain information derived from general data providers and depict regional and country-wide characteristics. The other topic groups contain maps derived from agricultural-based statistics from 2001-2002 survey. Statistics are aggregated at division/state, district or township level.

Each topic contains a fixed set of selectable base layers and topic-related data layers. Some layers are immediately visible (see check box ticked) while others are scale-dependent (gray color), which means only visible at a certain map scale (zoomed in).


Base layers
Following is the list of base layers commonly available in each map:
