GISC Tokyo cloud project

Project description

The purpose of this demonstration project is to provide data exchange functions and visualization tools on internet cloud services as a prototype for GISC Tokyo's area of responsibility (AoR) in accordance to WIS 2.0 principles.  Regarding data exchange functions on the cloud service, the use of traditional bulletin and file style will be envisaged, also to be considered is the exchange of small files such as SYNOP, TEMP, etc. For large volume files such as satellite and NWP products, the cloud service plans to offer processing services such as picking up a segmented area image, NWP viewer, etc. These services, based on Web architectures and cloud computing, will develop an understanding of WIS 2.0, and contribute to smooth migration from current the WIS framework to WIS 2.0 for GISC Tokyo's AoR users.
