The most widely used Open Geospatial Consortium specification is Web Mapping Service(WMS). By using WMS users can get georeferenced maps through HTTP calls. SWERA has implemented this specification into all the layers that are currently being used in the RREX application. Below you will find tables with the getCapabilities for each of the SWERA layers. Through this information, the layers provided below can be consumed by any OGC WMS client.
