  1. Recent developments at FMI EGOWS 2007 Dublin Mikko Strahlendorff

  2. Overview • New features to operational system: SmartMet 1 • Overall improvements • New GUI features • NextGen status: SISU / SmartMet 2 • New project organization • Verification • Workstation 0.3 with front editor • New delivery engine • Service level guarantees for the web • Metadata

  3. Creation of the customer products from the data checked by the duty satellites PRODUCTS DATA TRANSMISSION AND PRODUCTION Visualisation information editing Production - observations - model calculation - checked fields - interpretations Central data warehouse Numerical weather forecasts Collection & GTS aeroplane obs. synop soundings SmartMet weather service process DISTRIBUTION ftp etc. email SMS/WAP WWW fax print media radars OBSERVATIONS

  5. General SmartMet 1 improvements • More mouse features • More configuration possible, syntax and logic is standardized • Data can be zipped or used from q2server web service • Interpolation and griding is available if data needs to be visualized or calculated • Flight levels etc • Point observation etc griding • New data available: • Helsinki TestBed mesonet observations • AMDAR, Airep • Radar windprofiles

  6. Sounding display improvements and new data

  7. Cross section follows the mouse • Dragging the mouse redraws constantly the cross section • Move the whole line or a point

  8. Soundings plotting and more satellite data • Scroll button helps quick height and satellite channel changes • All channels and many composites from MSG and all polar orbiting satellites • Printing on big plotters with geo referenced map paper

  9. Product examples Media • TV • radio • newspaper • Web B to B customers • maritime transport • trade market • road traffic Mobile phone service

  11. SISU / SmartMet 2 news • First pilots were not accepted • Responcefulness too slow for forecasters • Functionality was wrong in research opinion • Flight planning test service was not used • Organization has been cut down on the top • One client (from the weather service) to order the system • Goal setting changed to more concrete usables in short term • CineSat system takes care of radar and satellite production

  12. New SISU goals for 2007 • New verification system • New webservice based workstation • SATrep production tool and shift to overall digital analysis • Streamline wind forecasting process • Better rain nowcasting by managing CineSat production • More research for cloud base and visibility forecasting tools (climatology…)

  13. New verification site is coming soon

  14. Verification – Results for all stations • All FMI observation stations are verified • Comparison between different models and forecaster edited fields • Based on guidelines from ECMWF / Pertti Nurmi

  15. SISU software components service M E S S A G I N G Weather objects and control info QUERY DATA: Obs, models etc S E R V E R Product generator control query info META- DATA- BASE Image data from CINESAT info S E R V E R MIRWA MIRWA server info info GIS control control S E R V E R SMART MET 2

  16. SmartMet 2 workstation 0.3 • Basically it’s a specialized web browser • Java client talking to JEE business logic server and other data servers • Geographic information from OGC standard Mapservers • Model fields and satellite data visualization in place • Layer and plugin based GUI

  17. Front editor plugin • Line and area drawing with control points • High/Low and Weather symbols drawing • Textual descriptions • Short term goal is SATRep production with new tool

  18. Front editor plugin continued

  19. Delivery engine: needs in all directions

  20. Delivery Engine • Concept background: • Very high traffic web service • Service response level guarantee needed • Modular design to permit different services on common base • Solution found in established Search Engine designs

  21. DE frontend • Incoming request to http server • Http interface indicates from address path requested module and possible data source • Post/get parameters are passed on to backend • Modules on backend can implement SOS, WMS, WFS or WCS

  22. DE backend • Modules can be build conveniently from common methods taking care of data retrieval and response functions • Modules have to decide their interface • Q2 in house and Web Map Service interfaces will be used for pilot services

  23. Metadata challenges • WIS / SIMDAT etc want metadata • Sensor Web Enablement OGC framework/tools to do it • How? • Every processing step must be registered, maybe modeled • Catch the whole processing chain • Common meta info: timeref, georef, geophysical parameter • Storing it is a challenge, because usage shall be frequent to utilize all benefits • FMI trial: xml to object, objects to db4o, db4o to other DB:s • Experiences?

  24. Personal career move to Brussels • Seconded national expert to the GMES Bureau • Global monitoring for environment and security Bureau is a worker for the European Commission • The ultimate goal is to get all environmental monitoring information accessible to anyone • Own responsibility is in situ observations and the meteorological community (EUMETNET & ECOMET) • Services to be developed need machine 2 machine communication to improve significantly • Very much what we want, so EGOWS can help it happen

  25. Thank you! • Any questions: • Cheers 
