Sensor PointTM’s input mechanism is designed to accept the
best sources available for a given task, including
proprietary sensors, and to incorporate improved data sources as they become available.
Input Data for Forecasts
- Thanks to decades of investment into weather modeling technology, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has developed sophisticated models that produce near-real-time area-oriented forecasts.
- Sensor Point™ receives continuous feeds of NOAA’s newest forecasts as soon as they are updated, including the regional North American Mesoscale (NAM) and the Global Forecast System (GFS) output.
- Weather Analytics continuously receives complete real-time, current official weather station observations covering the entire globe.
- Sensor Point™ also supports the direct input of private, on-site sensors.
Input Data for Historical Weather
- NOAA forecast trend information is ‘re-analyzed’ and verified based on actual observations to produce the NCEP/Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) datasets providing a consistent, unbiased history of area specific weather data.
- Weather Analytics banks, cleans and pre-processes all of this data for the world back to 1978 and keeps it current.
- We also have on-file all historical certified weather station observations back to 1978.
- Sensor Point™ is also designed to support the historical readings of private, on-site sensors
