The overall purpose of the system is to improve the effectiveness and quality of IT systems for MHO production. The system is intended to provide a complete real-time and archive data storage solution. WDB is being developed to: * Decode and store meteorological, hydrological, and oceanographic observations/point forecasts, including chemical or physical data but excluding biological and environmental data. Such data is assumed to be encoded in BUFR telegrams. * Decode and store meteorological forecast fields (forecasts, analysis, etc.) as well as oceanographic fields (wave and circulation models). Such data is assumed to be encoded in GRIB-fm5 or GRIB2 files. * Provide a flexible retrieval interface to the database for Java, Fortran, C++, Perl and Python. ===== Current Status: ===== WDB is capable of decoding and storing meteorological and oceanographics forecast fields from GRIB files. It allows retrieval of time-series (points) and entire fields using an SQL-based function interface (tested with C++, but should be compatible with Java, Perl, Python and Fortran). ===== Roadmap ===== Current development goals: * Putting WDB into production in the Hindcast project (multi-terabyte forecast field archive) * Creating a load-balancing and fail-over solution for the WDB system * Improving the test framework and documentation * Improving the performance of the overall system ===== Resources ===== [[https://svn.met.no/viewvc/wdbSystem/wdb/|WDB Subversion Repository]] [[https://wdb.bugs.met.no/|WDB Bugzilla]] [[http://wdb.met.no/0.6/doxygen/html/|Code Documentation (WDB 0.6rc1)]] wdb/start.1199374382.txt.gz Last modified: 2022-05-31 09:23:29(external edit)
