AtmoSwing
The AtmoSwing (Analog Technique Model for Statistical Weather forecastING) software allows for real-time precipitation forecasting based on a downscaling method, the analogue technique. This method is used for hydro-meteorological forecasting in the framework of real-time flood management or electricity production. It allows for:
- Automatic precipitation forecasting, 4-times a day
- Displaying the forecast in a user-friendly GIS environment
- Optimizing the analogue method for a provided timeseries.
Features
Time Series for the Coming Days
Time series for the coming days for a given location can be quickly processed and displayed, along with the full probability distribution.
Data Visualization
The forecasts are displayed in a user-friendly GIS environment that allows for precipitation spatialization visualization. The software is interactive and handles several levels of synthesis or details.
Input Data
AtmoSwing is built in order to ease the integration of outputs from various global numerical weather prediction models. It focuses on precipitation forecasting, but can handle any other weather variable.
Data Exporting
Exports are either standard NetCDF files targeted for AtmoSwing Viewer, or XML files for integration in another tool, such as a web platform.
