  2. What is CANRAD? • A data archiving system for Canadian radar stations. • A way for researchers to obtain real data from radar stations. • A monitoring suite to ensure data being obtained is consistent and accurate. • Why is CANRAD useful? • At present, no sophisticated data collection system is in place in Canada. • Data is live, not from an older archive. • Data is useful for research into climate change and for industries affected by climate (ex. Agriculture).

  3. Our project goals: • A database able to handle live data feed from multiple Canadian radar stations • Implement a monitoring system to sort through data and separate corrupt data • Allow users to analyze and query the database • What we’ve managed to accomplish: • Database able to handle live insertion of data files given to us from Environment Canada • Monitoring system able to handle these files • Web interface to view data files/error logs • Email notification system • Visualization of radar data

  4. System architecture • MySQL database • JDBC connection between feed application and database • PHP-MySQL web interface for connection to database

  5. Challenges thus far: • Understanding and obtaining radar data • How to properly display data files on a website • Handling as many errors as possible while parsing metafiles • Current challenges/future goals: • Maintaining connection to database after sitting idle for long periods of time • Archiving old log files • Displaying radar data in an applet

  6. Demo time!
