Weather parameters in MetGIS Pro+
Weather-related parameters
SHOWN ON THE MAPS
Temperature
The MetGIS temperature maps show the predicted air temperature 2 m above the ground and are given in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). These maps are particularly finely structured due to the 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, our weather maps are astonishingly accurate for very small areas.
Sunshine duration
This variable specifies the duration of sunshine for certain time intervals. The duration of sunshine is measured in hours. There are various limits to the exact prediction of the duration of sunshine, such as the shading caused by steep terrain or sunrays that are barely visible through thin, high-altitude clouds.
Clouds, rain and snow
This combined variable gives us information about the amount of cloud cover, rain, and snow. It helps us understand weather patterns and analyze complex weather phenomena.
Cloud cover:Â The cloud cover is given as a percentage (0-100 %). 0% stands for cloudless weather, 100% for completely overcast skies. For example, 75% cloud cover means that three quarters of the sky is covered with clouds.
Precipitation: Three-hour precipitation amounts are given, which fall in the form of rain or sleet (without the formation of snow cover). The unit used is millimetres/centimetre (mm/cm) or inches (in).
Fresh snow:Â This map displays the predicted amounts of fresh snowfall (in centimeters or inches) for three-hour periods. Due to the adaptation to the high-resolution terrain, the areas of fresh snow appear particularly finely structured on the maps.
Precipitation radar: The precipitation radar offers a real-time display of current precipitation conditions, enabling users to monitor weather conditions in real time and respond promptly to changes.
Fresh snow
This variable shows the amount of fresh snow that has fallen in a given period. It is measured in centimetres (cm) and is particularly important for winter sports and snow clearing.
Fresh snow 0-24 h: Shows the amount of fresh snow in the last 24 hours.
Fresh snow 24-48 h: Shows the amount of fresh snow in the last 24 to 48 hours.
Fresh snow 48-72 h: Shows the amount of fresh snow in the last 48 to 72 hours.
Snow cover
Displays the current snow cover height.
Sentinel snow cover: Displays the snow cover data from the Sentinel-2 satellite.
Modis snow cover: Displays the snow cover data from the MODIS satellite.
Background map
Specifies the source of the map basis, MetGIS, EOX or OpenStreetMaps.
Weather parameters
SHOWN IN THE POINT FORECAST TABLES
Current weather
The weather for each day of the week is displayed using symbols and is therefore easy to recognize.
Temperature
The temperature throughout the day and the minimum and maximum daily value in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
Probability of precipitation
The amount of precipitation in mm or inch and the probability in percent.
Wind
The wind direction and the wind speed in km/h, m/s or mph.
Time of sunrise and sunset
Shows the time of sunrise and sunset and the duration of sunshine per day in hours.
Relative humidity
Displays the relative humidity in %.
Technical details MetGIS Pro+
Temporal details MetGIS Pro+
Temporal resolution: The temporal resolution (prediction interval) of the forecasts is:
– Forecast maps: usually three hours.
– New snow maps are also available as 24-hour totals for today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
– Point forecast histograms: one hour or one day.
Forecast updates: We update our forecasts at least twice a day.
Forecast horizon: Each forecast covers the next three days (maps) or the next 10 days (point forecast histograms).
Spatial details MetGIS Pro+
Spatial resolution:Â Currently, the resolution of the weather maps over Central Europe, the Pyrenees and parts of South America is less than 100m, the rest of the world 1km. We can quickly set up additional extra-high resolution forecast regions for you.
3D maps:Â 3D maps are currently available in beta mode and will soon be available to our customers. This is associated with an attractive three-dimensional 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 MetGIS Pro+ if required.
MetGIS Pro+ Point forecasts
WEATHER TIME SERIES FOR ANY LOCATION
By selecting any location on the MetGIS Pro+ maps, the weather forecast for that location (e.g. towns, peaks, etc.) for the next 10 days is displayed in the form of point forecast histograms (tables with numerical values and graphic symbols). Daily forecasts can also be output in 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 mine area and its surroundings, including transport routes. Weather-related disruptions, such as storms, heavy snowfall or heavy rain, must be identified in a timely manner to ensure the implementation of appropriate 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 winter road 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.
