The exceptionally high quality of MetGIS forecasts is based on the fact that both the forecasting technology and the graphical presentation of the forecasts were developed in multi-year, interdisciplinary and international research projects with the simultaneous involvement of practical users.
Specialized knowledge from research institutes, universities and meteorological services in various countries (see attached map) could be used, covering the fields of meteorology, geographic information systems, software development and snow research.
Many thanks to our most important development partners:
