  1. FXC(FX-Collaborate/Connect) Forecast Systems Laboratory Boulder, CO

  2. FXC System Overview Java “Application” consisting of client & server • CLIENT – Runs on all Windows platforms(Not fully tested on Macintosh and Sun)1-2GHz CPU, 1GB Memory, DSL • SERVER – Runs only on Linux platformsUses AWIPS for creation of meta filesJava server connects to users1-2GHz CPU, 1GB Memory, DSL(more memory for large number of users)

  3. Collaborative Features • Common data base (AWIPS plus other) • Shared control of display • Text chat room • Slide show (PowerPoint-like) • Case review • Local data sharing (plots, JPG/GIF/PNG) • Web access (e.g.Cams) • Telephony (under development) • Mobile/wireless (under development)

  4. AWIPS-like user interface • Extensive data sets (models, obs, imagery, text) • Display manipulation and interaction • Procedures, cross-sections, soundings, etc • Extensive graphic annotation capability • Choice of servers (real-time and review)

  11. Implementation Considerations • Firewalls and proxy servers (TCP/IP) • Network bandwidth (DSL) • Server location (access to AWIPS data) • Customization (menus, special data) • User training

  12. FXC Customers • NWS/RFC – Hurricane briefings to EOC’s • NWS/WFO – NDFD forecast coordination (trial) • NWS/WFO – Web page preparation • FAA/CWSU – Aviation product evaluation • NASA/Houston – Shuttle landing Wx brief. • USAF/VBAFB&Kennedy – Rocket launch • COMET – Classroom training (radar) • Alaska - Volcanic Ash Coordination
