Portable & Easy The METDATA Monitor system is a portable application based on the Java platform. Self-installation packages are available for the most common platforms including Microsoft® Windows® and GNU/Linux. Intuitive Interface No other monitoring tool provides a more intuitive web-based user interface well-known to normal computer users. It is possible to remotely control the METDATA Monitor system using a common web browser; each user has its own account.

General Purpose

The METDATA Monitor system can be easily extended to incorporate new types of the monitoring just by an on-line update of the system configuration. Several predefined WMO/OMM monitorings are already set up:
 •  Integrated WWW Monitoring (incl. new 2007 rules!)
 •  Annual Global Monitoring (incl. new 2007 rules!)
 •  Special Antarctic Monitoring

Note: Multiple monitorings can be run in parallel (e.g. AGM and IWM), then evaluated one by one and sent to WMO.

TDCF Support

With accordance to the new rules for AGM/IWM, the METDATA Monitor system enables monitoring of TDCF bulletins (currently only BUFR). Several templates are supported:
 •  SYNOP (RA I to RA VI) templates,
 •  TEMP templates,
 •  PILOT templates.
