![]() ![]() Weather Data Layers delivers high-quality geospatial data at spatial resolutions ranging from approximately 14 sq km to as fine as about 1 sq km that updates every hour-far more frequent than typical weather models-and extends 14 days into the future. Because weather happens everywhere, Weather Data Layers enables advanced analytics that can more accurately assess the impacts of changing weather conditions and climate, previously difficult or impossible to accurately assess by relying solely on point-based forecasts. Until recently, many of these forecasts were for specific places or networks of point-based locations where weather sensors exist- often at airports. This enhancement enables commodity-trading firms to more accurately assess the impact of weather on potential natural resource utilization or crop health, or alert ride-hailing companies and transportation and logistics organizations to the risk of significant weather exposure.įor more than four decades, Maxar has been a trusted provider of high-quality weather forecasts over key global areas.

This Tropical Tracker graphic shows deterministic and ensemble models of recently formed Tropical Storm Gonzalo. “Tropical Tracker helps me assess risk in the natural gas market and answer questions like, ’Will the upcoming storm cause shut-in risk or refinery curtailment risk? Production platform damage or refinery damage?’ The damage ultimately depends on how strong the system is, but Tropical Tracker helps me prepare for what to expect.” “I value Tropical Tracker’s tools that allow me to analyze model biases and model trends and shifts,” stated a WeatherDesk customer who is a trade floor analyst at a major bank. Many WeatherDesk customers use Tropical Tracker’s deterministic and ensemble weather models to gauge where a system may go. Our goal is to have utility crews at the ready before a storm hits so that they can respond quickly and get the power turned back on for our customers.” “Once hurricane season starts, Tropical Tracker becomes a regular part of my workflow so I can have the latest information about any pending threats to our grid. “Tropical Tracker provides important tools that I use regularly to better understand the associated risks to the demand for the electricity, electricity generation and emergency preparedness awareness,” said Ryan. As a long-time user of WeatherDesk’s Tropical Tracker, Ryan uses the tool to keep his internal stakeholders apprised of the latest weather information so they can stay ahead of emerging threats to critical infrastructure.
