The Atmospheric Brown Cloud (ABC) project is an international research effort initiated by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). However, lack of cooperative application system for the collected ground measurement data from ABC observatories, prevents intimate cooperative studies among the researchers. In our proposal, therefore, we establish an e-Science based cooperative web environment called GeoNet(Global Earth Observation Network) so that ABC scientists can effectively share and utilize the ABC data. Therefore, ABC scientists can share and manage more effectively satellite images from various satellites and collected ground measurement data from ABC observatories through GeoNet.
