How do AerisWeather collect weather data?

 

Interpolated data is AerisWeather’s first choice for verification because it has consistent coverage and is always available, where high-quality weather stations are not. 

 

Tell me more about the Interpolated Data

 

AerisWeather’s interpolated data is localized to the exact point and time the data is requested for. To interpolate AerisWeather leverages its large network of both public and proprietary Ground Weather Stations in combination with numerous Forecast gridded model datasets and reanalysis gridded datasets to interpolate both spatially and temporally to the location(s) and time(s) requested. Data is interpolated to either the latitude and longitude orcentroid of the city, state, and country requested.  

AerisWeather maintains a worldwide database of 10 years’ worth of historical gap-free data in hourly and daily summary increments. The database comes from various sources such as: 

• Public Weather Stations (example: NOAA MADIS, etc)

• Airports (example: METAR- METeorological Aviation Report) 

• Proprietary networks (businesses, universities, weather institutes, weather enthusiasts, etc.)

• Reanalysis Gridded Datasets

• Forecast Model Gridded Datasets

• Weather radar (example: National Weather Service NEXRAD Radar network, etc.) 

• Satellites (example: GOES- Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite)
