IBL MET-SWIM Demonstration Server

Welcome to the demo server of the IBL SWIM Weather. Our focus for the near term is on:

• compliance with the EU Common Project Regulation (CP1)
• interoperability testing with organisations providing MET-SWIM services
• alignment of the AMQP notification structure between the data providers in the EUR region
• alignment with the Rodeo Project to represent observation and forecast data in CoverageJSON format.
  • for now, the demo server provides only the standard IWXXM data model, but JSON will follow.

Beyond CP1, the IBL SWIM Weather product will closely track the development in the community building the MET-SWIM compatible interfaces. IBL will work with a range of aviation meteorological services on publishing value-added products through EDR.
