Subsequently, Meteomatics was founded with the goal to revolutionize weather forecasting – through combining a next generation Forecasting Engine1 with the potential of yet untapped weather data2, measured by Meteodrones. It was during a turbulent flight as a private pilot – everyone knows the inconvenience of turbulence and that weather often does not behave like forecasted – that Martin Fengler was shook awake and two things struck his mind: hyperlocal weather forecasts would be a significant benefit and the accuracy of forecasts needs to be greatly improved. By accessing the Weather API, our customers can make data available for internal and external teams to deliver data-driven operational insights. Also, thanks to economies of scale and our access to weather data delivered via our cloud infrastructure, while our customers' data costs get reduced, data quality and access are enhanced, a genuine partnership win-win. Our Weather API integrates with industry-leading modeling, GIS, and data analytics providers. Meteomatics cost-effectively delivers this data across business units in a variety of cutting-edge and futureproof formats. We use Meteodrone data to enhance existing NWP output, allowing the provision of more accurate local weather forecasts. Meteodrones are developed and constructed in-house and have permission to fly beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) granted by the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA), making Meteomatics the only weather data provider able to extract data from the lower layer of the atmosphere (up to 3km above ground level) in a specific, targeted way. The ‘Swiss1K’ model is only possible due to the data received from our unique Meteodrone measurements within the lowest atmospheric layers. We produce our own high-resolution atmospheric model at a 1km resolution across Switzerland. We then apply downscaling techniques and scientific methods to output improved forecast data for any coordinate. Meteomatics can also process the data of third-party services (Telemetry, Sensor, IoT) to provide bespoke sector-specific information quickly and easily. To provide current and historical data, Meteomatics aggregates the latest weather forecast models, satellite data, rainfall radar information, and station observations from a variety of sources around the planet, such as Met Office, ECMWF, NOAA (US), and MeteoSwiss. From improving safety onboard ships and aircrafts to saving fuel and optimizing the performance of renewable energy facilities, access to accurate weather data helps companies increase their productivity and reduce the risks for their business. Our high-quality weather information enables our customers to make better decisions every day. Meteomatics specializes in high-resolution commercial weather forecasting, power output forecasting for wind, solar and hydro, weather data gathering from the lower atmosphere using Meteodrones, and weather data delivery via the Weather API.
