Meteo’s solutions for businesses and institutions are based on over 20 years of experience in precise modelling of numerical weather predictions in Central Europe.
In everyday calculations, we use the infrastructure of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling of the University of Warsaw (ICM UW) and the prognostic model of Great Britain’s meteorological service – the Met Office.
"Increased expenditure on production and climate change has resulted in the increased significance of weather forecasts as a tool to reduce risk in agriculture. In crop management, reliable weather information is a key ingredient to success."
„Rosnące nakłady na produkcję oraz zmiany klimatyczne powodują, że rośnie znaczenie prognozy pogody jako narzędzia redukcji ryzyka w rolnictwie. W zarządzaniu uprawami godna zaufania informacja o pogodzie jest kluczowym składnikiem sukcesu”.
"Wind Service is a wind farm operator with a total installed capacity of over 300 MW. Due to the need to plan production to ensure that the power system is balanced, we need the most accurate forecasts of wind force and direction. To this end, we use Meteo's numerical predictions on a daily basis. They're essential to calculating the estimated electricity production for the next day. Meteo's data are sent to a server and are then processed by a special system that calculates the production volume for the given day based on power curves. First and foremost, the wind direction and force at various heights above ground level are analysed. Charts prepared in this way allow us to effectively manage energy production also from the position of a power system operator."
„Wind Service jest operatorem farm wiatrowych o łącznej zainstalowanej mocy ponad 300 MW. Ze względu na konieczność planowania produkcji dla zapewnienia bilansowania systemu elektroenergetycznego, niezbędne są możliwie dokładne prognozy siły i kierunku wiatru. Do tego celu codziennie wykorzystywane są numeryczne prognozy przygotowane przez Meteo. Stanowią one podstawę do obliczania estymowanej produkcji energii elektrycznej na kolejny dzień. Dane z Meteo trafiają na serwer, a następnie są przetwarzane przez specjalny system, który na podstawie krzywych mocy oblicza wolumen produkcji na dany dzień. Analizowane są przede wszystkim kierunek oraz siła wiatru na różnych wysokościach nad powierzchnią gruntu. Przygotowane w ten sposób grafiki pozwalają na efektywne zarządzanie wytwarzaniem energii również z pozycji operatora systemu elektroenergetycznego”.
"The highest-quality data on weather phenomena and a professional approach to the client – this is the best way to describe ICM at the University of Warsaw. In the Onet Group, we have a strong focus on the quality of our products, and we really value our cooperation with ICM, without which our weather services wouldn't be as good."
What makes us stand out?
- We update forecasts four times a day
- Precise forecasting with a grid resolution of up to 1.5 km
- Continuous analysis of over 150 weather parameters
- Forecasts of winds at various heights
- Time resolution of 15 minutes
The highest quality of forecasts
We provide precise weather predictions in high resolution – up to 1.5 km – with time resolution. We analyse over 150 parameters, including detailed information related to the topography of a given location. Meteo’s algorithms are based not only on the Met Office’s numerical data, but also take into account historical forecasts (from over 20 years of operations) with actual readings from meteorological stations.
Flexible cooperation
Before commencing cooperation, we always first clarify your requirements. This includes a technological audit, during which we identify your needs, choose the optimal tools, and agree on the scope of parameters being analysed, the frequency of data updates, the resolution in the grid covered by the forecast, as well as the methods by which the numerical data are to be provided. This allows the client to automate the processing of the data provided.
Comprehensive support
During our cooperation, we’ll strive to provide the necessary substantive and ICT support. Our goal is to not only deliver forecasts, but also to improve their quality by working with the client, in particular, by inferencing from feedback and actual readings of meteorological conditions at specific locations. We also provide consultations in this area.
Convenient use
We provide different options for the distribution of forecasts so as to optimise or fully automate the processing of data for the client. Keeping with the highest security standards, we send data to dedicated FTP/FTPS servers, via e-mail or using our own flexible APIs. To service warnings/alerts, we also launch SMS notifications.
Security and stability
Meteo’s services take advantage of the potential of ICM – which is the leading University of Warsaw data science centre in Central Europe – whose high-performance computers are used for advanced calculations and to run innovative projects facilitating the development of science, organisations and institutions. Our own computing infrastructure and our experienced team guarantee ongoing access to services, stability and short response times to any notifications.
Access to historical data
We have historical data from previous years, which for many clients are a valuable source of information about the weather conditions in a given location and about the observed trends. Therefore, one of our areas of cooperation is providing access to archival data in the scope specified by the client.
Offer for businesses, institutions and organisations
We provide numerical point and regional forecasts as per the assumptions agreed with the client. Define:
- the scope of the parameters,
- the frequency of forecast refreshing,
- the data delivery method (e-mail, uploading to a server, API).
We give you ready data sets as batch files for further processing using your ICT systems.
Transport and logistics
Efficient production, effective distribution, satisfied consumers
Media
Up-to-date information for users, credibility of the website
Heating
Cost optimization, precise demand estimation
Agriculture
Safe crops, minimal losses, fertile yields
Power engineering
More security, faster deliveries, better performance
Why should you work with Meteo.pl?
- If your business depends on weather conditions, our forecasts will allow you to better manage your organisational processes, eliminate meteorological risk factors, and increase the profitability of your activities.
- We send alerts that enable you to prepare for dangerous and in many instances difficult-to-predict weather phenomena.
- You’ll have access to precise predictions of many weather parameters updated as often as every 15 minutes.
- As part of our cooperation, you can receive support in the form of synoptic consulting.
- We’ll provide you with access to archival historical data from numerical weather predictions.
- You can work with us in the science field – as a research team, we actively participate in R&D works and research.
We operate at the University of Warsaw
Meteo.pl is a spin-off of the University of Warsaw taking advantage of the experience of ICM UW going all the way back to 1994. Today, we’re the only centre in this part of Europe that’s forecasting the weather based on the effective Met Office model (UM – Unified Model) and the only entity that collaborates so closely on scientific grounds with a renowned university. Our specialists implement R&D projects and actively participate in validating the UM model in this part of the world, where weather forecasting is relatively difficult due to the geographic conditions. Thanks to our close cooperation with the University of Warsaw, we’re able to utilise the results of scientific work in business.
