Meandair expands high-resolution Nowcasting regions: Oceanic continent at 1 x 1 km resolution
Effective immediately, Meandair extends its high-resolution Nowcasting regions to Oceania.
This announcement follows shortly after Meandair's expansion of high-resolution Nowcasting to the African and Asian continent last months.
For all Meandair's weather data layers, high-resolution coverage of up to 1 x 1 km is now delivered to Meandair's existing and new customers, every 15 minutes. This includes coverage of oceans and remote regions, which are not covered by traditional weather radar.
- Global refresh rate: 15 minutes
- Spatial resolution: up to 1 x 1 km
- Temporal resolution: 10 minutes
- Vertical resolution: 10 Flight levels (300 meters), up to Flight level 600 (18,000+ meter
- Nowcasting core: 5 hours ahead
- Forecast blend: 24 hours ahead (soon to be 48 hours)
- Including oceans and remote regions
Head of Business Development Robert de Koning:
"We are excited to announce our expansion to the Oceanic continent with our highly accurate, high-resolution nowcasting data streams. This is another step towards our full global coverage of high-resolution weather data at 1 x 1 km, which is unprecedented in our industry at 15 minute global refresh rates of our forecasts. This extension allows us to provide even better quality data to our customers, current and future, ultimately aiding them in their decision-making process in high-value and time-critical operations. Also, this marks the kick-off of our partnership with the Brunel Solar Team, for which we will provide our nowcasting weather streams for their upcoming race in Australia later this year."
Meandair aims at full global coverage in high-resolution towards the end of 2025.
The upgrade also applies to Meandair's aviation service AirportWeather.com, now serving high-resolution weather reports and forecasts (AW-METAR and AW-TAF) to all airports, traditionally not covered by weather stations.
