BACKGROUND
HOW METGIS WAS CREATED
It all started with university research projects. 10 years later, experts from Europe, South America and Japan had completed the development of the MetGIS algorithm. The combined expertise in meteorology, geographic information systems, software development, and snow research made extremely accurate forecasts possible. The quality of the forecasts was astounding in several verification studies. When the number of customers increased, MetGIS GmbH was established.
PRECISION
WHAT MAKES THE METGIS ALGORITHM SO PRECISE?
MetGIS uses special innovative techniques that combine numerical weather simulation models with extremely high-resolution terrain data. This is reflected in the term MetGIS, which is composed of the syllables “Met” (for meteorology) and “GIS” (for geographic information systems). MetGIS has clear advantages over conventional forecasting systems, especially over mountainous terrain, because the exact altitude and location of forecast points are incorporated into the forecast process.
