Internet delivery of meteorological and oceanographic data in wide area naval usage environments

Access and retrieval of meteorological and oceanographic data from heterogeneous sources in a distributed system presents many issues. Effective bandwidth utilization is important for any distributed system. In addition, specific issues need to be addressed in order to assimilate spatio-temporal data from multiple sources. These issues include resolution of differences in datum, map-projection and time coordinate. Reduction in the complexity of data formats is a significant factor for fostering interoperability. Simplification of training is important to promote usage of the distributed system. We describe techniques that revolutionize Web-based delivery of meteorological and oceanographic data to address needs of the Naval/Marine user.
