Description

PrepIFS is an interactive meteorological application to prepare research experiments using the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) at ECMWF. It is written in Java as a general purpose configuration tool. The design allows users more interactive support and a simpler administration of the growing complexity of configuration requirements for the IFS model.

The prepIFS application uses the ECMWF Web Services System and consists of 3 software components:

1. Front-end graphical user interface This is the visible component that the user interacts with to configure his experiment.
2. Defaults Server This software component delivers the Decalpha Decalpha XML based configuration files to the graphical user interface.
3. Configuration Server This software component submits the experiments to a site for execution and manages the users configurations.

The software is provided on an as is basis and no support is available.
