Tonga Radar Project: Democratization of Weather Radars

Tonga Radar Project: Democratization of Weather Radars

The Tonga Radar Project successfully deployed a solar-powered C-band radar in just 70 days, overcoming significant logistical and environmental challenges.

Don't worry: Software does BITE!

Don't worry: Software does BITE!

The making of modern radar software Radar for the 21st century must be software-based equipment. Analog devices are tools for hobbyists and old-timers. Modern equipment must be based on software and software is the brain of its operations. It needs to function as well as the radar hardware itself. But

AIREN-NWP Revolutionizes Short-Term Weather Forecasting

AIREN-NWP Revolutionizes Short-Term Weather Forecasting

Is there a high variance in weather forecasts for today? Traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are limited in their ability to integrate new observations. Enter AIREN-NWP, AI-powered NWP post-processing that fuses forecasts with real-time measurements for higher resolution and more accurate weather predictions up to 6 hours ahead. We

One Solid Year - Year in life of Brisbane Solid State Radar

One Solid Year - Year in life of Brisbane Solid State Radar

Installed in the summer of 2022, the new solid-state weather radar has been operational since its rapid deployment. Over the past year, the radar has recorded a variety of noteworthy weather situations, enriching the understanding of local weather patterns. Serving as a reliable backup for the Mt Stapylton radar, the

Revolutionizing Radar Operations: Meteopress's Successful Off-Grid Field Test of MASEC Radar

Revolutionizing Radar Operations: Meteopress's Successful Off-Grid Field Test of MASEC Radar

Meteopress has successfully finished testing its newest revolutionary mobile C-band Solid State radar in the field. The primary objective was to evaluate the practicality and operational elements involved in deploying a temporary C-band radar swiftly, in an entirely off-grid location. The field test conclusively demonstrated that it's entirely

Meteopress Brought Weather AI Research to ML Prague 2023

Meteopress Brought Weather AI Research to ML Prague 2023

Last weekend AI researchers and enthusiasts from around the world gathered in Prague for this year’s edition of ML Prague – the biggest European conference about ML, AI, and Deep Learning applications. At Meteopress, we are pleased that we can be part of Prague becoming one of the significant European

WeatherFusionNet — Our Model Wins Weather4cast Challenge

WeatherFusionNet — Our Model Wins Weather4cast Challenge

Weather radars are the way to go for real-time monitoring of severe weather in high resolution. For the past couple of years, we have been working to take this information further from monitoring to accurate nowcasting. However, severe weather also happens in areas with unreliable or no access to radar

Beam Blockage and Wind Farms solved with Radar AI

Beam Blockage and Wind Farms solved with Radar AI

When people talk about usage of artificial intelligence on meteorological data, the first thing that comes to mind is nowcasting, a short term precipitation forecasting. However, there are many areas where it can be applied. In general, machine learning is best applied where it outperforms statistical or analytical methods, either

2021 in Meteopress - Covid brought the C-band radar!

2021 in Meteopress - Covid brought the C-band radar!

Meteopress is a meteorological company. We have been forecasting the weather since 1992. Since 2015, we have embarked on a new path: innovative, technological, honest and courageous. 2021 was a confirmation for us that we are on the right track. Although we have no firm plan, we have our work

MWNet v1.0 — AI precipitation nowcasting for the public

MWNet v1.0 — AI precipitation nowcasting for the public

After two years of development, we present accurate short-time AI precipitation predictions available for the public in Central Europe. During storm seasons, it is often possible to see a storm forming on the horizon. A natural question in this situation is: “Will that storm hit us? How severe will it

Superiority of AI in the precipitation nowcasting

Superiority of AI in the precipitation nowcasting

Implementation of neural networks into meteorological science has been met with mixed reception with emotions ranging from full enthusiasm to total contempt. In Meteopress, we have focused on a straightforward goal — radar echo / precipitation nowcasting using the current state of the knowledge of neural network science. Meteopress AI team in
