SWAP is a comprehensive display and application platform of FY-2 Satellite
data as part of the ground application system. It provides a professional and
interactive tool for the weather forecasters. The software is mainly based on
FY-2 stationary satellite data and available for other multiple data such as
polar-orbit satellite data, ground observation data and Numerical Weather
Prediction products. SWAP has the flexible basic structure and processing
ability of massive data, furthermore it provides the effective and comprehen-
sive analysis tools for tropical cyclone monitoring, severe convective cloud
tracking and extrapolation etc.

Satellite Weather Application Platform
Satellite Monitoring Analysis Remote-sensing
Toolkit (SMART) is a comprehensive applica-
tion platform of FY-3 meteorological satellite for
monitoring, data analysis and public service. It
provides a professional remote sensing applica-
tion platform for technicians engaged in remote
sensing application of natural hazards and eco-
logical environment monitoring.
SMART plays great role in many aspects, such
as uniform operation management, multi-source
data displaying, general function of image pro-
cessing, thematic information deriving, geo-
1. Systems of SMART
1.1 Application Supporting System
The platform adopts C/S architecture and is developed based on
JAVA. It provides:
• Manage Automatic procedures running on server
• Monitor hardware resources and executive state of task
• Manage the process of obtaining external data, monitoring the
mediate data, managing the final output and configuration of
operational environment of sever.Task Scheduling Task Monitoring
Bgraphical information overlaying, and thematic product generation and products Dissemina-
tion. SMART was formally issued with version 1.0 (V1.0) inside the national meteorology
department for the first time in Nov. 2011. Three nationwide trainings and four provincial-
level trainings have been carried out
and the software were set up and run-
ning in NSMC and piloted in 32 pro-
vincial meteorological departments.
Until now, it has been customized and
popularized in Xinjiang, Neimenggu,
Guangxi, Yunnan and Hainan prov-
inces, and will be converted into op-
erational application in succession.
