Data Sources
Metswift uses data from over one hundred thousand WMO approved weather stations, disregarding unverifiable data and less credible sources. The data are put through a rigorous cleansing and automated normalisation process. For our purposes, there is no better set of weather data. Amongst others we access and use data from: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration […]
Using the HLP
The HLP front-end can be customised from the standard during the model training stage. This means that we can make sure that the types of results needed for your specific use are displayed in the way that best suits you. Get in touch and we can discuss your needs.
How do I compare the predicted conditions vs the historical risk?
After creating an event, predictive results from the Claros model are displayed by default. To compare with the historical average, simply click on the ‘show climatology’ button in the top right hand corner of your report panel. This will enable a side-by-side comparison of probabilistic predictions and best estimates, both at a headline level (for […]
Can we access your data via API?
Yes, get in touch to discuss set up costs and timescales.
How does the subscription work?
Subscriptions can be purchased for the ALR or HLP separately, or jointly. Additional subscriptions are available for MetSwift Reports (these can also be purchased on an ad hoc basis). Contact sales on [email protected] to find out more.
What is the HLP (Hyper-Local Precision) platform?
The Hyper-Local Precision platform delivers forecasts with a far greater degree of accuracy than previously available at a hyper-local level. It uses our Delos model, powered by data from on-site weather stations, to vastly increase accuracy levels, improve the effectiveness of forecasting over time and to provide data that can be used with more confidence […]
What is Claros?
The Claros model itself relies upon what we believe to be the best* set of weather data in existence. Our data is processed, cleaned and adjusted both automatically and manually by experienced meteorologists. Delphi then maps out the predicted movements of overarching weather-affecting patterns called teleconnections (the most famous is El Nino/Southern Oscillation or ENSO). […]
What is the ALR (Advanced Long Range) platform?
The Advanced Long Range platform uses our Claros model to provide weather predictions from 1-24 months globally. It delivers results that are more accurate than traditional forecasts (and go further than the longest available) and better than statistical climatology-based predictions (average weather conditions often adjusted for climate change trends). Right down to postcode level, the […]
ALR Weather Conditions and Perils
We currently show predictive and statistical data for the following weather conditions/perils. For NatCat perils other than wildfire, the risk shown is from the MetSwift Standard Statistical model. Wildfire risk is delivered through a predictive model:
What is available?
Bespoke reports can be ordered on an adhoc basis and are individually priced according to the volumes of data pulled. For those who require regular reporting we offer weekly or monthly Metswift Reports subscriptions. Metswift started out with reporting and we specialise in creating sector specific value from our own data. All reports get the […]
