Analysis and Design of a Portal for Ionospheric Data

Abstract

Since 2004 DLR Neustrelitz operates the Space Weather Application Center – Ionosphere (SWACI). This Center is involved in several projects of the Space Situational Awareness (SSA) program of ESA and of EU FP7. It is largely based on services and tools of DLR’s Data and Information Management System (DIMS) and its long-standing User interface EoWEB. SWACI provides access to near real time products and ensures long-term preservation. The lecture will analyze the existing solution and various project-specific applications and will derive requirements for a recent user interface. In the second part the talk will draw a design of an user interface for the Ionospheric Monitoring and Prediction Center (IMPC), which continues utilizing existing services of DLR, offers OGC compliant interfaces and which is so generalized that future projects can be easily plugged in.
