Mobile grid data access for high resolution weather information services

Abstract

Weather information provider provides accuracy, speed and appropriate information to different basic needs of the users. Unfortunately, service providers that meet those three criteria are still rare (especially in developing countries). The combination of PC-Cluster, NWP and GDS can be used as a low-cost solution in providing weather information which meets those three criteria. Although the features of the resulting information service (web service, GDS and User defined data access) assist users in accessing weather information, but improvements still need to be done especially in terms of publication of the service.
