OpenWeatherMap is an open source project that collects weather data from over 40,000 weather stations worldwide and makes it available for free through interactive maps and APIs. It believes weather data should be open and accessible to all. The site provides current and forecasted weather for over 120,000 cities, as well as weather maps, analytics, and an API. Data is collected from both professional and private weather stations and combined with forecasts from multiple global and local models to provide accurate global and local weather coverage.
OpenWeatherMap on the Open GIS Conference 2012
- 1. OpenWeatherMap.org Open Meteorological technologies Speaker is Dennis Ukolov, architector Conference ‘Open GIS’ 17 Nov 2012
- 2. OpenWeatherMap project is inspired by Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap ideas We make weather data to be available to everyone.
- 3. We believe that enthusiasts joined by one idea could reach more results than large companies. We believe that meteorological data must be available, free and easy-to-use. OpenWeatherMap.org provides you with: Weather in 120,000 cities Data from 40,000 weather stations all over the world 20 different weather maps
- 4. OpenWeatherMap.org is: 1 Interactive weather maps 2 History and forecasts 3 Analiticss 4 API 5 WiKi
- 5. OpenWeatherMap conception 3. Weather maps 1. Collecting of data from weather stations Open Weather Map 4. API 2. Forecasts of meteorological services
- 6. 1. Data collection: Weather stations OpenWeatherMap receives data 40,000 weather stations from professional and private weather stations Private stations Professional stations
- 7. 1. Data collections: Weather stations in Russia and Europe Density of weather stations. Situation with weather stations in Russia looks dramatically in comparison with Europe.
- 8. 1. Data collection: How to use data from weather station After connection of the weather station it possible to build different types of charts using weather data from the station. - Wind rose - Pressure - Weather forecast -Temperature variation … and many others.
- 9. 2. Forecasts: Types • Global and Local forecasts • GFS CMC WRF models We combine data from different forecasts with different scalability and accuracy Global (low Continent (middle Local (high accuracy) accuracy) accuracy)
- 10. 2. Forecasts: Enthusiasts make a local weather WRF model is available as an OpenSource software. The model works on PCs of enthusiasts. Budget of the system is$5,000 Blade server 16 core
- 11. 2. Forecasts: How to use We combine data from different models By combining global and local models it possible to get global covering on the one hand and accurate detailed data for specific locations Base on these data we make interactive weather maps
- 12. 3. Weather maps: Variety of types Clouds Pressure Temperature Радары Radars Precipitations
- 13. 4. API: For whome Mobile applications Smart house Web applications Научное применение Scientific applications (oceanology)
- 14. 4. API: How to use 1. Mobile applications for iOS, Android, Windows Mobile 2. Web-applications to display a current weather, charts, widgets and many others. 3. Smart house system, automatic garden irrigation system etc. 4. Agriculture and scientific applications.
- 15. 4. API: Getting different kinds of data by JSON 1. Current weather in city (more than 120,000 cities) 2. Current weather in location – lat/lon 3. Forecast for 7 days in a compact or full formats. 4. Data from weather stations 4. History
- 16. OpenWeatherMap architecture Open Source software: NgInx Apache PHP Tilecache OpenLayers /Leaflet Mapnik PostGIS Memcache MongoDB Gearman MySQL Python And more..
- 17. Future development of the OpenWeatherMap • Social aspects • External modules of calculation • Weather station expanding • Agriculture • Development of customized meteorological applications
