Extreme weather drones
Meteomatics - Stand 8035
Across the world there are numerous unexpected extreme weather events like thunderstorms, hail and fog that cause extensive damage at great commercial cost. It is acknowledged by weather experts that in order to improve forecasting accuracy and provide greater visibility of the likelihood of such extreme weather events, there is a need to deal with a massive data gap in meteorological observations in the planet’s boundary layer.
To overcome this problem, Meteomatics has developed a range of high-quality purpose-built Meteodrones. The data that is currently missing from the global weather models becomes available by flying Meteodrone missions from ground level up to 3,000m (9840ft) every 15 minutes while continuously recording temperature, humidity, pressure and wind data. These measurements can then be processed in Meteomatics’ own high-resolution weather model, which has already been proved to provide more accurate forecasts for Switzerland.
Fast acquisition and computation of data is the key element for many business processes, whether the data is coming from weather stations and forecasting, or satellite and radar images. Meteomatics’ customised Weather API support clients’ weather-based processes with a fast and convenient way to access the company’s extensive weather database. Corresponding connectors support the integration of weather data into other process chains. The extensive weather database also offers industry-specific weather parameters and data. The Meteomatics Weather API is a fully flexible, cost-efficient one-stop shop for worldwide high-quality weather data.
