Demonstration:• Required Data• Supplemental Data

Mesoscale Alpine ProgrammeOctober 2002

Why this concept?Webserver <-> Database

• Platform independent (No special Software)

• Easy to use user interface (One entry point)

• User has the choose (Time, parameters & stations)

• Uniform results for users (Publications)

• Data and information are up-to-date• No connection between layout and content
