FOSS4G NA 2024

Using FOSS4G to process and visualize METOC data
09-10, 11:30–12:00 (America/Chicago), Grand F

How we integrated several FOSS4G SW and standards to go from raw data to user friendly output


The talk will describe the how we used several FOSS products (OpenLayers, MapServer, ZOO-Project, WMS, WPS) to fulfil the need of making METOC data available to end users.

The METOC solution includes a set of WMS services for meteorology and oceanography, as well as an advanced processing interface to the METOC WPS processes. Users can view METOC data, ranging
from temperatures to wave heights.

We will describe the current solution and learnings when creating it.
