  1. Web Development by Mark Mizubayashi Program Manager Tim Fahey Project Supervisor Kevin P. Roe Thomas Meyer Maui High Performance Computing Center Center for Adaptive Optics 2006 Akamai Internship Program

  2. Background • MHPCC produces high resolution weather forecasts • Supports AMOS (Air Force Maui Optics & Supercomputing site) • Giving more accurate/detailed forecasts than the National Weather Service • Forecasts are posted daily on MHPCC’s public website http://weather.mhpcc.edu

  3. Motivation • The weather web page is examined by everyone from telescope operators to the general public. • Readability • Web page needs to be easy to understand by professionals and non-professionals

  4. Motivation cont. • Portability • Web page needs to be viewable by all internet capable devices i.e. not just broadband desktops, but less powerful and smaller devices. • Email security • Integrating a contact page using PHP so robots cant acquire email for nefarious purposes

  5. Motivation cont. • Cross-platform • Web page must be viewable by multiple browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc…..

  6. Implementation • Readability • Detailed description of weather fields being displayed • Clear graphics • Organized pages

  7. Implementation cont. • Portability • Layout of web page is minimalistic • No excessively large graphics • Preloading of images limits details on small screens • Use of pull down menus

  8. Implementation cont. • Email security • Use of PHP script to prevent unwanted web crawler access.

  9. Page Layout

  10. Page Layout cont.

  11. Conclusion • Readability • Any user can navigate through easily • Portability • Able to be viewed by smaller devices such as cell phones • Email security • Prevents robots from accessing information • Cross-Platform • Designed to work across multiple browsers

  12. Future Work • Change from JavaScript of multiple PNG images to flash or shockwave animation • 3D interpretation of data using Vis5d

  13. Special Thanks • Center for Adaptive Optics • Malika Bell, Lisa Hunter, Hilary O’Bryan • MHPCC • Tim Fahey, Kevin P. Roe, Thomas Meyer • MEDB • Isla Yap, Leslie Wilkins • MCC • Mark Hoffman Funding provided through the Center for adaptive Optics, a National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center (STC), AST-987683.
