During my internship last year with Unidata, I developed an Android version of a netCDF Subset Service form. Coming back this year, I wanted to expand my endeavors in mobile development by writing an application that works on all mobile platforms. To do this, I decided to use Apache Cordova because it takes a JavaScript/HTML file and packages it as a native application for any mobile platform. The product of choice this year was Unidata's radar data as it seemed to be a product well suited for mobile users.
