ACIS System Architecture • System design is optimized for the Internet • Distributed/Synchronized data bases • Resiliency built-in to handle system failures • Object-oriented programming design allows for extension of capabilities • Flexible interfaces can link to all ACIS components • All information is delivered as products developed through user interaction
Integrated Data Sources • Time-integrated datasets • IDD and NOAAport (SHEF, DSM) • Coop-3206, 3200 (final, preliminary, keyed) • 9641 (normals) • 3280 (surface airways) • 3220 (monthly) – planned • Integrated with other data sources • Mesonets: AWDN, Oklahoma Mesonet • RAWS, SNOTEL, SCAN, USGS, CoCoRaHS (Jan 2010) • Local key entry • Meta data to support all stations
Web Services • A web service is traditionally defined as: ...a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-processable format and preferred data formats to facilitate information exchange • Web services today are frequently just Application Programming Interfaces (API) or web APIs that can be accessed over a network and executed on a remote system hosting the requested services • Within ACIS, web services are a new area of development that will reduce the development hurdles for climate partners
