Abstract :
WeatherLink is a universal networking tool. It allows the efficient manipulation of text or binary files. It can create, control, and clean up processes. WeatherLink is easily maintained and works effectively with both archived and dynamic data and it is self monitoring. Its architecture allows the tool to mold itself to the application. It makes no difference whether the application is ingesting image, statistical, or textual data-the created database and its interface will specifically adapt itself to the application, allowing the user efficient access to the data. In WeatherLink, the authors have a versatile, easy to use networking tool contributing to the development of more efficient scientific data management and retrieval
