  5. What it gets used for • Quicklooks • “Is this the data I want?” • Diagnostics • “Is the model behaving itself?” • Communication • Simple visualizations, posted to blogs • In future, may be an alternative MyOcean catalogue front-end

  6. Important points • ncWMS implements some extensions to help scientific visualization • In situ data visualization is particularly challenging to WMS • By embedding into THREDDS, “WMS-enabling” the system was reasonably straightforward • THREDDS was familiar technology in the community • Data providers sometimes reluctant to spend time on configuration! • Color scale ranges were a particular problem! • I’d assumed that reliability would be a big problem, but so far so good • However, third-party background map services are frequently unreliable • But scalability still worries me!

  7. Interoperability challenges • Most WMS clients seem to work fine against MyOcean WMS servers • (they can’t of course access the “extensions”) • Some clients don’t respect parts of the WMS spec: • TIME and ELEVATION dimensions • Nested Layers • Layer property inheritance • Legend graphics • start/stop/period syntax for time axes • Need to harmonize styles to compare with third-party WMS • Error handling and reporting in clients is frequently unhelpful

  8. Plans for MyOcean2 • Incorporate in situ data into operational View Service • Integrate with access control • Research into developing intercomparison tools • In-situ observations plus models
