The WebWinds
Interactive Data System
WebWinds, the successor to LinkWinds, is an interactive science data visualization system. WebWinds is written in Java, is available for all major computer platforms and is based on LinkWinds in that it inherits LinkWinds functionality. Because it is written in Java, WebWinds is modular, allowing flexibility in tool construction and application. It is also largely platform and operating system independent so that it functions efficiently in today's heterogeneous environment. Ultimately, it will be user extensible, allow internet-based distributed processing and will be designed to fulfill the needs of data providers as well as data consumers.
