Raster data as a service

Satellite data & ensemble forecasts for immediate use & integration with your monitoring data

montage of KISTERS hydromet software UI with graphs and dashboards for smartphones and laptops

Get access to satellite observations & ensemble forecasts

Overcome your organization’s funding & IT limitations to unlock value from increasingly available raster datasets.

We absorb high IT infrastructure costs and use our own innovations to acquire, convert and process a wide array of gridded observation and forecast datasets. Common data products are generated by the (U.S.) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Environment and Climate Change Canada, the North American Ensemble Forecast Suite (NAEFS).

Using our raster data as a service, provincial / state governments and local agencies now have 21st Century tools to develop more reliable local forecasts by correlating measured climate data and generating data products that power localized forecast tools.

The web-based application enables operators, planners and policymakers alike to put high accuracy, precise and hyperlocal information into action.

 

Your benefits

1

Detailed local observations & forecasts

Downscale observations & forecasts to a granular unit smaller than 1 square mile (0.25 km2). Extract time series & perform areal calculations.

2

Heightened awareness & management of risks

Set & automate alarm settings for more awareness & time to manage risks & mitigate dangers

3

Enriched post-event analysis

Integrate free or paid data to identify data gaps and redundancies in your ground-based monitoring network

4

Enhanced modeling efforts

Combine this data source with probabilistic models or deterministic hydrological & hydraulic modeling of a watershed or sewershed

5

Affordably expand & calibrate your monitoring programs

Earth observation satellite datasets & ensemble forecast datasets are increasingly available and for free. Compare remote & in-situ monitoring data for better O&M.
