Have you ever wondered to get weather data directly ingested into Tableau? This can be either done than with a web data connector (WDC) or directly via WMS. The following screenshot shows how powerful such an integration can be: You can access satellite and radar images, storm, maritime data etc. to overlay that with your data that you like to analyze. Our weather API enables you to retrieve location specific weather and maritime information around the globe directly into your Tableau project.
Current weather models still facing challenges in accurately reproducing and forecasting precipitation. To assist the weather models’ observed precipitation, it is crucial to complement information about rainfall. In line with that, Meteomatics is delighted to announce the integration of additional satellite-based precipitation products into our API. The new data sets enable us to offer more accurate precipitation data globally. The satellite-based precipitation products improve especially ground truth in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. The spatially and temporally consistent and continuous 30-year rainfall data set, from 1981 to the near-present, allows us to put recent climate extremes into historical context. It can be used for trend analysis and seasonal drought monitoring or to assess and monitor large-scale rainfall patterns. Following our philosophy, these new data also improve storm and hail products.
The Meteomatics API facilitates the high-speed retrieval of long historical time series as well as historical grid data from ECMWF’s reanalysis model ERA5. Queries from ERA5 can be executed as usual without any additional specifications!
