Web based Product Editor
• Commercial Web based Toolkit: IBM Lotus Forms
• 3-week pilot project in June 2007
• Pilot successful
project started work in progress to be finnished early 2009

Experiment Magics++ and Web Mapping Server• Goal:
– What can be done at KNMI within a few weeks with• existing meteo data• Magics++• Web Mapping server
• New for KNMI, but similar things are done before by e.g. by Norway with data from DIANA
• Developer: Ernst de Vreede, KNMI

Experiment Magics++ and Web Mapping Server• Further plans:
– More meteo while zooming in– Filled contouring– Radar– More background maps– Data from XML/BUFR files– Open layers draw facilities– Animation?– Performance test, e.g. quad core system– Magics++ as service permanent active?

3D-visualization
• Part of severe weather program• Tool to explore output new meso scale models
(2010)
• Pilot with tool VGEO not successful: – Difficult to arrange input data– Interface not user friendly

– KNMI and Department of Defense both like to go for a new MWS
• Feb 2007– specification document finished
• Mar 2007– General steering group KNMI/Defense proposes to research the
possibilities for a web based MWS, to be performed by a partner of the Department of Defense.
•Jun 2008…

State of project ‘Replacement MWS’
• Jun 2008 – Restart of project with :
• Brainstorm about future way of working:– Use of 3D by forecaster– Automated first guess– More use of GIS – Etc
• Update specifications
