Zusammenfassung |
As part of a large European coastal operational oceanography project
(ECOOP), we have developed a web portal for the display and comparison of
model and in situ marine data. The distributed model and in situ datasets
are accessed via an Open Geospatial Consortium Web Map Service (WMS) and Web
Feature Service (WFS) respectively. These services were developed
independently and readily integrated for the purposes of the ECOOP project,
illustrating the ease of interoperability resulting from adherence to
international standards.
The key feature of the portal is the ability to display co-plotted
timeseries of the in situ and model data and the quantification of misfits
between the two. By using standards-based web technology we allow the user
to quickly and easily explore over twenty model data feeds and compare these
with dozens of in situ data feeds without being concerned with the low level
details of differing file formats or the physical location of the data.
Scientific and operational benefits to this work include model validation,
quality control of observations, data assimilation and decision support in
near real time. In these areas it is essential to be able to bring different
data streams together from often disparate locations. |
