Compare the accuracy of our virtual weather station forecasts and history with actual weather observations for current conditions, forecasts, 30 year hourly time series and TMY (EPW) files.

Accuracy and Comparisons

By grounding a forecast to a specific point, leveraging localized direct observations and maximizing the forecast frequency, Sensor Point^TM can produce the highest quality current condition and forecast data possible, particularly in the first 8 to 12 hours where most management and control systems require extreme accuracy.

Compare with other forecasts

Verification analyses comparing 150 separate individual forecast runs at a test in London showed the competitor model accumulated over 37 % more error than Sensor Point^TM.
As input to management and control systems, the depth and accuracy of Sensor Point^TM data can maximize system performance. There are no errors or gaps in the data that can cause failures or interruptions.

By applying these same techniques to stored forecast and hourly certified sensor observations, the Virtual Sensor Stations^TM from Sensor Point^TM can produce up to 30 years of continuous hourly historical weather and climate data for any site in the world.
