From 2002 to 2004, a satellite data processing system for marine application had been built up in State Key Laboratory
of Satellite Ocean Environment Dynamics (Second Institute of Oceanography, State Oceanic Administration). The
system received satellite data from TERRA, AQUA, NOAA-12/15/16/17/18, FY-1D and automatically generated Level3
products and Level4 products(products of single orbit and merged multi-orbits products) deriving from Level0 data,
which is controlled by an operational control sub-system. Currently, the products created by this system play an
important role in the marine environment monitoring, disaster monitoring and researches.
Now a distribution platform has been developed on this foundation, namely WebGIS system for querying and browsing
of oceanic remote sensing data. This system is based upon large database system-Oracle. We made use of the space
database engine of ArcSDE and other middleware to perform database operation in addition. J2EE frame was adopted as
development model, and Oracle 9.2 DBMS as database background and server.
Simply using standard browsers(such as IE6.0), users can visit and browse the public service information that provided
by system, including browsing for oceanic remote sensing data, and enlarge, contract, move, renew, traveling, further
data inquiry, attribution search and data download etc.
The system is still under test now. Founding of such a system will become an important distribution platform of Chinese
satellite oceanic environment products of special topic and category (including Sea surface temperature, Concentration
of chlorophyll, and so on), for the exaltation of satellite products' utilization and promoting the data share and the
research of the oceanic remote sensing platform.
