Welcome to SCI-WMS

SCI-WMS is an open-source Python implementation of the OGC WMS (Web Mapping Service) API for CF-compliant oceanographic, atmospheric, climate and weather data which can visualize structured or unstructured grids adhering to CF and/or CF-UGRID conventions.

System Requirements

  • >= 4GB RAM suggested, topology generation can impact system if low RAM

Features

  • Python based OGC WMS server, leveraging the graphics capabilities of matplotlib
  • Supports unstructured grid (UGRID) model output via pyugrid
  • Local cache of grid topologies using R-Trees for fast spatial access queries
  • Supports community standard CF compliant formatted datasets
