• Provide SSEC scientists and programmers Provide SSEC scientists and programmers an an EASYEASY method of presenting imagery and method of presenting imagery and data that is data that is powerfulpowerful, , easy to useeasy to use, and , and compatible with smart phone technologycompatible with smart phone technology and and modern browsers and platformsmodern browsers and platforms
• Information can be presented on Information can be presented on geo-located geo-located displaysdisplays (Google Earth/Maps), with capability (Google Earth/Maps), with capability to to animateanimate, , overlayoverlay, and , and interrogateinterrogate various various data types (imagery, grid, and/or point data) data types (imagery, grid, and/or point data) simultaneouslysimultaneously

SSEC WMS Capability – SSEC WMS Capability – Statement of ConceptStatement of Concept
• Why do this?Why do this?– Will put SSEC/CIMSS on forefront for Will put SSEC/CIMSS on forefront for
utilization of new technology and utilization of new technology and platformsplatforms
– Upgrade or augment existing project web Upgrade or augment existing project web pages to be more “mobile friendly”pages to be more “mobile friendly”
– Allow for easier setup of new web pages Allow for easier setup of new web pages and easier collaboration between different and easier collaboration between different projects within or outside of SSECprojects within or outside of SSEC
• Current public SSEC webpage Current public SSEC webpage users have users have requestedrequested certain information to be presented certain information to be presented in more “mobile friendly” displays (e.g. Tropical in more “mobile friendly” displays (e.g. Tropical Cyclones)Cyclones)
• Improvements to existing mobile phone aimed Improvements to existing mobile phone aimed products (e.g. PAW) products (e.g. PAW) need to be upgradedneed to be upgraded to to improve resolutions and capabilities on latest improve resolutions and capabilities on latest smart phonessmart phones
• SSEC displays and products can be optimized SSEC displays and products can be optimized for for in-house usersin-house users (i.e. project collaborations or (i.e. project collaborations or at conferences/meetings), and at conferences/meetings), and public userspublic users (i.e. (i.e. aviation community, state/local government, aviation community, state/local government, private businesses, etc)private businesses, etc)
SSEC WMS Capability –SSEC WMS Capability –Background InformationBackground Information
• What is the Web Map Service (WMS)?– User submitted geo-located imagery (e.g.
GeoTIFF) or data field products (point or gridded data)
– WMS handles geographic information and will tile images as necessary for optimized display on a wide range of devices
– The use of Javascript on the client (mobile devices, desktop browser, etc.) allows for animation of images and any number of overlay products (either locally or remotely served)
SSEC WMS Capability –SSEC WMS Capability –Background InformationBackground Information
• What is the Web Map Service (WMS)?– Standards-based data publishing– Data viewable on all WMS-capable software:
ArcGIS, Matlab, IDL, McIDAS-V, qGIS
– Display output in Google Maps/Earth
– Viewable in a simple browser
• And, we have developed our own tools to make data access easier and adaptable to future display technologies

SSEC Smart Phone Capability –SSEC Smart Phone Capability –PrototypesPrototypes
• Smart Phone apps– Notification system developed to send an
email, text message, and Apple/Android notification for real-time events. Implemented for severe weather events.
– iPhone app developed to receive notification of severe weather. This triggers a request to the WMS to display the latest radar with severe weather location, area coverage, etc.

• Continue to develop new tools to Continue to develop new tools to augment and enhance current WMS augment and enhance current WMS capabilitiescapabilities
• Develop directory structure to WMS to Develop directory structure to WMS to allow for better organization of all SSEC allow for better organization of all SSEC productsproducts
• Provide guide for data producersProvide guide for data producers• Provide Administrators’ Guide so WMS Provide Administrators’ Guide so WMS
can be installed anywherecan be installed anywhere
