Since the data given by meteorological satellites covers very wide observation areas and have up-to-date status, many professionals use the data - not only in meteorology but also in oceanography, in fishery, etc. In our laboratory, we developed a data receiving system for the meteorological satellites NOAA and have been receiving the observation data for about the past 5 years. As the amount of data sent from the satellites NOAA becomes very large, we find it difficult to manage it by hand. In addition to this, we have to manage the orbit information and the weather reports sent from the Meteorological Agency. So, we decide to use a database management system on a general purpose computer for managing them. We are building a system which can manage and retrieve a large amount of information efficiently. This paper proposes a method for managing and retrieving the information by using a database management system on a general purpose computer.
