The Bureau § § The Bureau was established in 1907 and Operates Largely under the Meteorology Act 1955 / 2008 and the Water Act. It operates within the Context of the WMO and the Australian Weather and Oceans Handbook. The Bureau areas of responsibilities include Forecasts, Weather (including Space weather), Climate, Oceans (including Tides and Tsunami) and Hydrology and National Water Accounting. It has over 1600 staff, Regional Offices in all states and over 60 Offices around Australian, Antarctica and Islands. IDDP 0004 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Northern Territory Darwin Regional Forecasting Centre CANCELLATION OF FIRE WEATHER WARNING For the Darwin and Rural Area Issued by the BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY, DARWIN at 1615 CST Tuesday 7 SEPTEMBER 2010 for the rest of today. Fire Danger of the Darwin and Rural Area has eased - no further warnings will be issued. DARWIN Regional Forecasting Centre.
Functions under the Meteorology Act 6 Functions of the Bureau (2) (1) The functions of the Bureau are: (a) the taking and recording of meteorological observations and other observations required for the purposes of meteorology; and (b) the forecasting of weather and of the state of the atmosphere; and (c) the issue of warnings of gales, storms and other weather conditions likely to endanger life or property, including weather conditions likely to give rise to floods or bush fires; and (d) the supply of meteorological information; and (e) the publication of meteorological reports and bulletins; and (f) the promotion of the use of meteorological information; and (g) the promotion of the advancement of meteorological science, by means of meteorological research and investigation or otherwise; and (h) the furnishing of advice on meteorological matters; and (i) co‑operation with the authority administering the meteorological service of any other country (including a Territory specified under subsection 4(2)) in relation to any of the matters specified in the preceding paragraphs of this subsection; and (j) such other functions as are conferred on the Bureau by any other Act. The Bureau shall perform its functions under this Act in the public interest generally and in particular: (a) for the purposes of the Defence Force; (b) for the purposes of navigation and shipping and of civil aviation; and (c) for the purpose of assisting persons and authorities engaged in primary production, industry, trade and commerce.
Information Delivery § The Bureau delivers information via a range of delivery channels. These include: o o o o o Telephone Fax HF Radio Private Networks and GTS Public Web Registered User Forecasters Media representatives FTP and Web Services
GIS 2 Web Basics § GIS 2 Web is the Bureau’s term for delivering Spatial Enabled data via interoperable web services (HTTP) and FTP. § Spatially enabled means the data has been given x, y and/or z coordinates relative to map datums or projections. § Interoperability allows multiple entities (systems/ organisations) to work together directly (Syntactic vs semantic) § Web services refers in this case to Open Geospatial Consortium / OGC web services, in particular WMS and WFS. But in the future it will probably include WCS WPS WSC IWS Net. CDF and OPe. NDAP. § ISO Metadata is delivered via Geo. Network.
Brief History of GIS 2 Web § GIS 2 Web Trial: About 5 years ago the Bureau was involve in a spatial data interoperability trial as was awarded. § GIS 2 Web Experimental: Building on the trail and adding security and user specificity (via SIMS integration) and experimental OPe. NDAP services for research. § GIS 2 Web Operational: This AMDISS system is now operational (both back and front end) and includes the Operational FTP services. § A future developments: Internal GIS 2 Web server (Map. Server and Geo. Server), Operational OPe. NDAP services for registered users and Secure OPe. NDAP services. § The current architecture will likely change as a result of internal developments by both the National Climate Centre and the Water Division.

GIS 2 Web Project § GIS 2 Web is the Bureau’s Project to deliver Spatially Enable data via OGC web Services and (Open. DAP and FTP). § GIS 2 Web is able to handles Data via GDAL / OGR. o Formats: ESRI Shapefiles, GML, net. CDF, Geo. Tiffs, ACSII § Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant web services o Web Map Services (WMS)-Version 1. 1. 1 o Web Feature Services (WFS) -Version 1. 0 § Future OGC services will include; o o Web Coverage Services (WCS) for gridded data. Web Catalogue Services (CSW) for data catalogues Web Processing Services (WPS) for client end processing KML services
AWS Process Model
Advantages of Spatial Web Services § Users can integrate Bureau data with their data, Using their preferred desktop or internet mapping/GIS package § Less data management (no data translation, storage, maintenance) § ‘Point of truth’ dataset ie data from the authoritative data source § Up-to-date data – crucial for emergency management § Standard symbology § Eliminates the barriers of data sharing between organisations § Not dependent on proprietary software § More time for analysis § Saves time and money § 24/7 Operational
Standards § GIS 2 Web is made possible through the implementation of spatial interoperability standards including: o Web Map Service (WMS) o Web Feature Service (WFS) o Web Coverage Service (WCS) o Geographic Mark-up Language (GML) o Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) o WMO Symbology / All Hazards o ISO 19000 series § Other standards include: Net. CDF and HDF, DAP and THREDDS, FTP RFC 2428 - submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IEFT) in 1998
