Biography

Jebb Q. Stewart received his BS in Meteorology from University of Utah (2001), and MS (2008) in Computer Science from Colorado State University.   His areas of interest include software development for geophysical data manipulation and visualization. From 2001 to 2003, he worked at the Forecast Systems Laboratory in Boulder, CO in the Demonstration Division, where he developed web services and software applications for the GPS-Met program.    Mr. Stewart joined CIRA in 2003 as a Software Developer at the Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, CO. Today, Mr. Stewart is the technical lead of the FX-Net and Gridded FX-Net/W4 programs where he continues work in developing software applications for meteorological data processing and visualization.

Recent Work
Figure

Above: The Compression Relay Management System (CRMS) is the enabling technology of Gridded FX-Net/W4 application. CRMS provides and adaptable design combining data management, compression (including wavelet compression) and data transfer technologies through a central management system allowing users to transmit large amounts of geophysical data to remote systems. CRMS allows users to define custom compression parameters for specific data sets to help maximize data throughput on limited bandwidth. Gridded FX-Net/W4 is currently used operationally in support of Fire Weather by Geographical Area Coordination Centers (GACCs) and the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC).
