Using GIS/OGC Standards in Meteorology

This is the second workshop designed to engage practitioners in discussions about the implementation of GIS/OGC standards. In addition to presentations on set topics, participants will break into working groups, which will explore opportunities for collaboration, implementation, and common standard adoption.

From the Workshop Website

The aim of this workshop, jointly organised by ECMWF, the UK Met Office and Meteo- France, is to review the use of OGC standards in geo-sciences in Europe and worldwide, to promote collaboration between meteorological services in order to define a set of common standards that will enhance interoperability.

The goal of the workshop is to review the initial results of Interoperability Experiments on Web Map Services, and to define a roadmap for further activities as part of the DWG Meteorology working group, especially around conceptual modelling and other OGC interfaces (WCS, WFS, SOS, …)
