A Weather Prediction Web Map Service from PSU
Gary Price (ResourceShelf) tipped me off to a new GIS internet Map Service for weather. This one comes out of a partnership between the National Weather Service and Penn State. The article provides little information on the nature of the service:
PSIEE Web enables the weather data through the creation of Internet Map Services (IMS) so they are available to anyone with an Internet connection. These map services allow the served data to be easily integrated into a desktop GIS software package via the Internet with just a click of a button. The team also developed viewing capabilities through Google Earth.
However, a PowerPoint referenced in the article, from the ESRI UC this year makes clear the data is available in ArcIMS Image and Feature Services, but if you dig through it seems that it’s also accessible via WMS. I believe you can access the services here (the article provides no links, so I’m guessing based on the PPT.)
