Abstract :
This paper describes the database service of the GMS/WEFAX imagery based on the WWW. The WWW services basically display and animate the value-added images of the GMS/WEFAX. The GMS/WEFAX imagery types (Infra-Red, Visible, and Water Vapor) can be provided on a web browser. This is the integrated system that the receiving system, called WADIPS is directly connected with server workstation and images transferred from WADIPS to server change into graphic formats that are for general service on the WWW. In addition, multimedia functions can be provided in this system. The function of text service in the Web browser is basic and the function of audio service is almost education for the system. Especially, image service formats in the system are GIF and MPEG. Binary WEFAX images received automatically from the WADIPS change into GIF and make the MPEG file by the encoder. Therefore, users can access the value-added images of the GMS/WEFAX in near-real time through the World Wide Web easily
