SPI is a scientific and meteorological virtual globe offering immense processing, analysis and visualization capabilities, with a user interface similar to Google Earth and NASA World Wind. It was developed over the past 8 years within the Environmental Emergency Response Division of the Canadian Meteorological Center to enable operational and R&D users to manage the reponse and the execution of dispersion models in a highly user-friendly way.

It uses the open source GDAL/OGR libraries, making sure it's geospatial data formats support is always up-to-date. SPI provides access to GDAL/OGR commands through a TCL API.
