DEVELOPMENT OF MTSAT DATA PROCESSING, DISTRIBUTION AND VISUALIZATION SYSTEM ON WWW

This research focuses on a network based data distribution and visualization system of Multi-functional Tran-port SATellite (MTSAT). Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) and Institute of Earthquake Research Institute (ERI) both at University of Tokyo have been receiving, processing, archiving and distributing of MTSAT imagery with a direct receiving of High Rate Information Transmit (HRIT) since October 2006. A software package, mtsatgeo, is developed including radiometric correction, geometric correction and spatial subset, and they are available on a web-based data distribution and processing service accessed at http://webgms.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/.
