Specific Parameters for Aviation
On top of fundamental weather parameters, Meteomatics has a suite of parameters dedicated to the aviation sector, including:
Fast and Flexible Access to Weather Data
- One source, one interface: query multiple parameters simultaneously for single or multiple sites and entire areas
- Query data in real time with a response time of a few milliseconds
- Real-time access to several data petabytes thanks to unique data processing technology (Meteocache)
- "On the fly" downscaling using topographic maps enables 90 meter resolution worldwide, greatly improving accuracy at the local level
- High-resolution data available every minute
- Highest data quality: over 1640 updates per day ensure accuracy and timelines
See the Skies in Unmatched Detail with EURO1k and US1k
Meteomatics' EURO1k and US1k models deliver ultra-high-resolution aviation weather data, with forecasts at a native 1-kilometer scale—downscaled to 90 meters—offering unmatched precision across Europe and the U.S.
These models enhance aviation weather services by providing accurate real-time forecasts for airport operations, turbulence prediction, wind shear analysis, and thunderstorm tracking for pilots. Integrated with METAR and TAF data, satellite weather for aviation, and radar imagery for flight planning, they support better risk management and flight safety.
When incorporated into aviation weather software, dispatch weather tools, or a weather decision support system for airlines, EURO1k and US1k enable smarter airline route optimization, reduce weather-related delays, and promote fuel-saving flight operations globally.
What Makes 1k Models So Special?
- Native spatial resolution of 1 km (further downscaled to 90m)
- Native temporal resolution of 15 minutes
- Forecast lead time of 72 hours
- Geographical coverage across all of Europe (EURO1k) and the United States (US1k)
- Hourly updates, integrating all available measurement and observation data from Europe
- Exclusive integration of weather data captured by Meteodrones
- Over 1800 weather parameters
- Real-time data and historical data
- Boundary condition: ECMWF-IFS
- Running on ca. 100,000 CPUs across 600 HPC compute nodes
Hyperlocal Airport Forecasts Powered by Meteodrones
Accurate Real-Time Forecasts for Airport Operations
Accurate real-time forecasts for airport operations depend on understanding low-level weather events like fog, hail, and localized storms. These can disrupt takeoffs and landings, yet traditional aviation weather data sources — like satellite weather or METAR and TAF data — often miss them.
To close that gap, Meteomatics developed Meteodrones — specially designed weather drones that collect high-resolution data up to 6 km altitude, even during severe weather. This data feeds directly into Meteomatics’ forecasting models, significantly improving predictions for fog, thunderstorms, and other high-impact events.
Meteodrones have already proven their value in aviation through successful collaborations, including with Zurich Airport and national weather services in Switzerland. Projects like DETAF and its successor, DETAF 2.0, are helping reshape how airports manage weather risks with more accurate, localized forecasts.
