Bespoke meteorological computations

We provide bespoke meteorological forecasts and (re)analysis with a combination of proprietary software and state-of-the-art apps such as WRF-ARW or MPAS. The simulations are either global or regional/local and can cover any area worldwide. Some of the advantages associated with bespoke simulations involve higher accuracy, the ability to tailor simulations to specific needs, and the feasibility of being used to perform other simulations based on their outputs. Standard outputs include results as netCDF files and meteorological variables tabulated in CSV files. Additionally, animations and outputs in other formats are available upon request. The outputs from meteorological computations are usually distributed directly to customers.

Regional simulations

Regional simulations with unstructured Voronoi meshes facilitate the creation of more customized domains to forecast and analyze meteorological phenomena. Regional simulations are an alternative (and eventually their replacement) to WRF simulations as they provide greater flexibility in the definition of the target domain and the fitting of variable resolution meshes, thus eliminating the need for nested domains. When used properly, regional simulations result in more customizable domains with affordable costs. The combination of these features with Graviton4 processors results in affordability for teams not wishing to simulate the entire globe due to cost and/or computational time constrains.

Global meteorological forecasts

Global meteorological forecasts cover the entirety of the globe. These simulations use either cells of (nearly) uniform size or meshes with refinements at any point in the globe. The below animations show the variations in several variables from a global simulation with an average cell size of 30 km.

Local meteorological forecasts

Local meteorological forecasts target specific areas and allow scientists/modelers to adjust for different levels of refinement.
