and viewing meteorological data. An additional batch component is able to render graphical products off-line, these may e.g. be visualized by a web service. Essentially it is a client - server system an implemented fully with the programming language Java.
NinJo was initiated by the German Meteorological Service (DWD, Deutscher Wetterdienst) and the German army (BGIS, Bundeswehr Geo Information Service) in the year 2000.
