A mirroring model is introduced to avoid the problem of big data processing in the mirror websites. In this paper, we propose a cost-effective mirroring system for the Himawari-8 real-time web. To reduce network traffic and increase the access speed of it from other countries out of Japan, mirror websites of each country are needed. Himawari-8 real-time web is only one website that provides full-resolution remotely sensed images in real time. However, it is hard to develop a real-time and full-resolution website, due to the large amount of data to be handled. After its starting operation in 2015, there are several websites that provide remotely sensed images in real time. Himawari-8 is the first unit of the Japan Meteorological Agency’s third generation of geostationary satellites. The third-generation meteorological satellites equipped with highly-improved imagers provide a huge amount of Earth observation data. The results show that our data visualization is suitable for practical use on a temporal preview of observation image data for the domestic users. We evaluate the performance of our techniques for domestic and international users on laboratory experiments. This data visualization is supported by the ecosystems, which uses a tiled pyramid representation and parallel processing technique for terrain on an academic cloud system. In this paper, we develop a web-based data visualization for Himawari-8 satellite sensed images in real time and with full resolution. Thus, new techniques for domestic and world-wide dissemination of the observational big data are needed. The development of multi-band imagers with improved spatial resolution onboard the third-generation geostationary meteorological satellites brings us meteorological data in larger size than those of the second-generation ones. The third-generation geostationary meteorological satellites not only yield basic data for weather monitoring, but also globally observe the Earth’s environment. The specifications of the geostationary meteorological satellites have shown tremendous progresses along with the generations, which are now entering their third generation. It has been almost four decades since the first launch of geostationary meteorological satellite by Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
