Server Application

ULTIMA runs on a Linux multitasking Operating System and allows the simultaneous reception, display and printing of products. It also provides Web services for retrieving and generating weather products, both in text and graphical format. Weather products are based on mandatory WAFS broadcasts and comply with ICAO and WMO requirements for aeronautical weather information.

Weather data includes:
