Abstract:A website construction method for publishing meteorological products based on the opensource IDV tool is introduced. The near realtime weather analysis maps are oriented towards the countylevel meteorological, agricultural, and public users at the browser end, with emphases on the temporalspatial multilevel covering of maps and meteorological services for farmers, mountain areas, and disaster management. The design principles are described in aspect of content, time, region, and interpretation, respectively. Using the ontology technology, the meteorological elements are converted into meteorological knowledge. The static and dynamic graphic layers are processed separately, in order to speed up the generation of the corresponding 2D and 3D maps. The web publishing platforms based on the proposed design have been applied in several sites and gained positive feedbacks.
