This research focuses on a network based data distribution and visualization system of Multi-functional Tranport SATellite (MTSAT). Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) and Institute of Earthquake Research Institute (ERI) both at University of Tokyo have been receiving, processing, archiving and distributing of MTSAT imagery with a direct receiving of High Rate Information Transmit (HRIT) since October 2006. A software package, mtsatgeo, is developed including radiometric correction, geometric correction, spatial subset, forest fire monitoring and flood monitoring functions and they are available on a web-based data distribution and processing service accessed at http://webgms.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/. All the technologies are successfully transferred to Vietnam (Forest protection department) and Laos (Water Resources and Environment Agency).
