The vegetation degradation, drought and other environmental issues in the Mongolian Plateau have been as the hot spot in the study of the climate change and the ecological environment changes in Northeast Asia. Based on the NOAA AVHRR NDVI-PathFinder 10d remote sensing data of 1981-1999 and MODIS vegetation index and the surface temperature 16d data of 2000-2012, the knowledge service inverted Temperature and Drought Vegetation Index (TVDI) by the Ts-NDVI general space, their spatio-temporal distribution and changes were calculated. With the WebGIS technology, the application of Mongolian Plateau drought monitoring annual spatial distribution has been released. This application shows Mongolian Plateau drought monitoring annual spatial distribution from 1981 to 2012. MapServer is used to release Web Map Service (WMS) referring the international specification. The Combination of data and MapBox tiles has been used by OpenLayers to generate the map view.

Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China, and it plays an important role in flood control regulation and storage and biodiversity protection.Water eutrophication in Poyang Lake has been considered to be an obstacle to aquatic environment protection and regional sustainable development. Chlorophyll-a concentration is one of the most important indices of water eutrophication. This application builds seasonal chlorophyll-a concentration retrieval models using a semi-analytical model. Quarterly distributions of chlorophyll-a concentration from 2009 to 2012 are explored using multi-spectra data from a moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS). With the WebGIS technology, the application of spatial distribution of the seasonal chlorophyll-a concentration in Poyang Lake, China (2009-2012) has been released. This application shows the measured chlorophyll-a concentration data in January, April, July, and October from 2009 to 2012.

Concentrations of suspended solids in lakes can affect the latter’s primary productivity and reflect changes in sediment deposition. Determining the temporal and spatial distribution of suspended solid concentrations has important significance in lake water environmental management; this is particularly urgent for Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China. In this application, suspended solid concentration inversion models for Poyang Lake were created using a semi-empirical method with regression analysis between continuously measured suspended solid concentration data and multi-band moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer images for spring, summer, autumn, and winter from 2009 to 2012. The seasonal distributions of suspended solid concentrations in Poyang Lake from 2000 to 2013 were then obtained using optimal reversal models. With the WebGIS technology, the application of spatial distribution of the seasonal suspended solids concentration in Poyang Lake, China (2000-2013) has been released. This application shows the measured suspended solid concentrations data in January, February, April, July, October and December from 2000 to 2013.

The new CityIQ Knowledge Service integrates data on cities around the world and we have a huge city database as the basis for our CityIQ score. The amount of urban data that this database possesses is one of the largest in the world and integrates the differences in statistical standards between countries, while using advanced technologies and introducing advanced algorithms to keep data dynamic. We provide data query services: Users can view the historical scores of the cities assessed in the database and their respective sub-indicators. At the same time, the smart city evaluation can interact with the user, and the user can submit supplementary corrections for the index of a certain city. After the data review and data reliability verification, the score system can be included. The City IQ data could be shared to the people from every corner of the world freely.
