Weather parameters in MetGIS Pro+
Weather parameters
SHOWN ON THE MAPS
Temperature
The MetGIS temperature maps show the predicted air temperature at 2 m above the ground, in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). These maps have a particularly detailled structure due to their adaptation to the high-resolution terrain.
Wind
The wind data includes both the speed and the direction of the wind and refers to a height of 10 m above the ground. The wind is given in meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph) or knots (kn). As our high-resolution terrain models are also used to calculate wind parameters, in mountainous areas our wind maps may show substational variations even on small areas.
Sunshine duration
This variable specifies the duration of sunshine for three-hour time intervals. There are various limits to the exact prediction of the duration of sunshine, such as the shading caused by steep terrain or the handling of sunrays that are barely visible through thin, high-altitude clouds.
Clouds, rain and snow
Clouds Rain Snow: Combined weather map showing at a glance the areas where there is cloud cover and where it is raining or snowing. The cloud cover is given as a percentage of the sky coverage. Amounts of rain (unit mm or in) and amounts of fresh snow (unit cm or in) refer to three-hour intervals. Rain here also includes sleet without the formation of snow cover.
Cloud cover:Â Indicates what percentage of the sky is covered with clouds. The value range is 0 to 100 %. 0 % stands for cloudless weather, 100 % for a completely overcast sky. 75 % cloud cover means, for example, that three quarters of the sky is covered with clouds.
Precipitation:Â Amount of precipitation that has fallen in three-hour intervals, in millimeters (mm) or inches (in). In the case of rain, this is simply the amount of rainwater, and in the case of snowfall, the water that would remain after the fallen snow has melted. The unit mm is identical to the unit liters per square meter (l/m2). This means that a precipitation amount of 10 mm means that 10 liters of water have fallen per square meter.
Fresh snow:Â Amount of fresh snow for three-hour intervals, in centimeters (cm) or inches (in). The areas of fresh snow appear particularly highly structured on the maps due to the adaptation to the high-resolution terrain.
Precipitation radar:Â The precipitation radar maps provide a real-time display of the current precipitation. In contrast to most other weather variables, no forecast is provided, but values measured by precipitation radar stations are presented, some of which have been post-processed and edited.
Fresh snow
Fresh snow 0-24 h, Fresh snow 24-48 h, Fresh snow 48-72 h: These are maps showing fresh snow sums for 24-hour intervals, namely for the next 24 hours, as well as for the intervals 24-48 hours and 48-72 hours from now. The unit used is centimeters (cm) or inches (in).
Snow cover
Snow cover: This snow cover master map shows which areas are currently covered by snow. However, it is not possible to tell from this map how thick the snow cover is (snow depth). The map is created using data from various satellites (Sentinel, MODIS) and MetGIS internal model calculations and provides the best snow cover information that MetGIS has to offer. The horizontal resolution of the snow cover map is up to 30 meters.
Age of snow information: Indicates when the information on the snow cover map was last updated. This depends on the exact flight plans of the satellites and the cloud cover conditions and can vary from area to area.
Source of snow information: Indicates where the information on the snow cover map comes from. Depending on the geographical region and weather conditions, the sources of information are either satellites (Sentinel, MODIS) or weather simulation models from MetGIS.
Background map
You may choose between different background maps. Default are MetGIS maps which are based on OpenStreetMap.
Weather information
IN THE POINT FORECAST TABLES
Current weather
Current air temperature, felt temperature, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, and intensity of rain and snowfall

Technical details of MetGIS Pro+
Time
Temporal resolution: The temporal resolution (prediction interval) of the forecasts is:
– Forecast maps: usually three hours.
– Fresh snow maps are also available as 24-hour totals for today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
– Point forecast tables: one hour or one day.
Forecast updates: We update our forecasts at least twice a day. Point forecasts are even recalculated four times a day.
Forecast range: Each forecast covers the next three days (maps) or the next 10 days (point forecast tables).
Space
Spatial resolution:Â Currently, the resolution of the weather maps over Central Europe, the Pyrenees and parts of South America is less than 100 m, the rest of the world 1 km. We can quickly set up additional extra-high resolution forecast regions for you.
3D visualization: Our 3D map mode is an absolute novelty in the field of operational weather forecasts visualization and offers an attractive plastic representation of the weather, with exciting navigation options.
Geographical background information: By default, we use a database based on OpenStreetMap as the background for our weather maps.
We are also happy to integrate customer-specific geographical information (special waypoints, roads, routes, etc.) into your specific version of MetGIS Pro+, if desired.
METGIS PRO+ POINT FORECASTS
WEATHER TIME SERIES FOR ANY LOCATION
By selecting any location on the MetGIS Pro+ maps, the weather forecast for this location (e.g. city districts, mountain peaks, etc.) for the next 10 days is displayed in the form of point forecast tables containing both numerical values and weather symbols. The forecasts are available in daily or hourly resolution. The time series contain all relevant forecast parameters.
For special industries
Snow and avalanches
For ski resorts, slope management, avalanche warning services and anyone involved with snow and mountains.
MetGIS Pro+ is a great help, especially for weather monitoring over larger ski resorts or the respective focus region of avalanche warning services.
Mining
For open-pit mines, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the weather conditions in the mining area and its surroundings, including transport routes. Weather-related disruptions, such as storms, heavy snowfall or torrential rain, must be identified in a timely manner to ensure the implementation of appropriate counter measures.
Traffic
MetGIS Pro+ is an invaluable tool for traffic control centers that monitor weather conditions across vast regions. It enables these centers to respond swiftly to potentially hazardous weather situations. This feature is particularly beneficial for road maintenance services.
More
MetGIS Pro+ is a valuable asset for a variety of sectors, including energy, agriculture, tourism and retail. The product is particularly beneficial for applications that require a comprehensive weather overview over a large area, while minimizing the need for extensive in-house visualization system development.
