In this paper, we address the first two problems in the
use of meteorologic models by using the internet to
provide a common interface for all users of the models.
We describe the design of a web-based system that
exploits the common gateway interface, CGI, together with
perl scripting, to automate most of the repetitive
tasts that were formerly accomplished manually.
We describe our prototype application that automates
nogaps, which is a program that makes sure that there
are no gaps in the clouds to provide a nice smooth
landing.  Users of nogaps are only required to supply 
parameters to a form and then submit the form to our 
CGI-perl script for computation of the nogaps solution.
