I need to pull data for multiple locations, is this possible?
Of course! On the ALR system, you can upload a bulk list of locations to create multiple reports. For more complex requests or for combined data across locations just get in touch and we’ll pull the results for you. We can also run detailed sector-specific reports. If you’d like to scope out a MetSwift report, […]
What is ‘results type’ and ‘results display period’?
‘Results Type’ refers to whether the results are an accumulation, binary, or average figures for a given condition over the chosen ‘results display period’. The ‘results display period’ is the duration during which the displayed risk is calculated. So for daily results over a longer period, the risk and best estimate calculations are daily averages […]
What do the probabilities for Threshold 1 and Threshold 2 mean?
Put simply, they give the average chance per day (or week/month for conditions with an ‘accumulation’ results type), across the specified span of dates, of the specified threshold(s) being reached.
What are the Threshold 1 and Threshold 2 parameters for?
These usually represent a threshold, such as a large amount of rainfall, which if occurs will lead to undesirable outcome(s) e.g. force cancellation or rescheduling of an event. The Claros model and ALR platform have been developed to deliver predictive probabilities for these thresholds. There are up to two parameters that can be used. These […]
We already have meteorologists, do we really need MetSwift’s help?
Our platform provides results within a few clicks – much faster than instructing meteorologists to locate, acquire, clean, and process the data into a useful report. Your meteorologists can save years of research and development and be unleashed to get the most out of our data and models, adding further value for your specific operational […]
We don’t have any meteorologists in house, can you help?
Our products are designed to be intuitive, with no user requirement of any scientific background, even meteorology, for interpreting results. That said, our team are happy to help you get the most out of our platforms. You can think of MetSwift as your meteorology department and if you need bespoke reports for your sector or […]
I need to see the data in a different format, can you help?
If you can’t easily access the data you want in the format you need through our platforms, we are likely to be able to pull it for you as part of your subscription plan. Sometimes, what you need will be more in depth and then we’ll quote for a MetSwift Report.
What is NatCat Risks?
Short for ‘natural catastrophe’, this term refers to distinct weather or geological events (a.k.a. primary perils) which may have related impacts (secondary perils) such as strong winds or excessive rainfall. Currently, we offer a climatological view of risk for tropical cyclones and earthquakes (each for all relevant areas), along with tornadoes for the US. We […]
