Altostratus Inc. creates high-resolution forecasts (e.g., 200 - 500 m) for urban and non-urban areas. Forecasts can be provided per user-selected, site-specific basis.
See sample pdf file below, for more information.
Some highlights:
- High-accuracy real-time, days-out, months-out, and future-climate location-specific forecasts
- Advanced, fine-scale urban and non-urban atmospheric models tailored specifically to locations or sites of interest (simulations done specifically for site)
- Meteorological observations from mesonet and urbanet to augment the forecasts
- Detailed remote-sensing and in-situ land-use, site, and surface characterizations
- Site-specific weather data at 50 - 500 m resolutions
- Accounting for current and future climates and land-use changes (in dynamical downscaling of climate models)
- Input to dispersion modeling, e.g., AERMOD
- Code-compliance and LEED-related modeling
- Energy trading / utilities
- Agritech applications and agriculture-specific forecasts and derivatives
- Scoping for renewables
- Input to emissions and photochemical models for real-time and days-out forecasting
- Input to heat-health models and calculations
- Forecasts delivered daily and tailored to specific needs.
The following sample forecasting report (pdf file) provides an example of information and data that are typically included in the high-resolution daily forecasts. In this example, the forecast is for the Sacramento, California region for the period beginning September 26, 2020. Forecasting reports will be further tailored per specific user needs.
