Weather Data Services

SuperPack: Corporate-wide access to our entire worldwide archives of hourly, daily historical weather data and feeds including cleaned data sets for a single annual subscription. Click here for more details.

 

The weather sites and variables available through SuperPack grow continuously: as SuperPack subscribers request new data sets that are not already in our "ready to go" catalogue so that catalogue grows. We carry data for over 100,000 worldwide data sets. With very few exceptions these are all within the scope of SuperPack. This service offers a dramatic simplification of the contractual and legal admin involved in data provision. One contract, one charge covers all. 

Please see here for information about recent additions to our archives, as provided under SuperPack

 

Cleaned Data Sets: Weather data is often incomplete and may contain erroneous values. Our Cleaned Data Sets correct erroneous values and fill missing data. We carry in excess of 2,000 cleaned historical data sets of temperature and rainfall and some other variables and we clean over 2,000 sites per day. We also provide cleaned hourly data sets and feeds.

 

Quality issues: We believe data cleaning is a very serious business. Our pedigree is defined by the responsibilities implicit in providing weather data for the pricing and settlement of financial market transactions over the last decade-i.e. weather insurance and weather derivatives. This represents the sternest test of data quality and provenance.

- Our cleaning techniques build on a very substantial software infrastructure which, in turn, uses a database storing data for over 100,000 worldwide weather reference sites. Our tools alert us to improbable values by the use of methods including proxy testing, analysis of hourly reports and satellite imagery. However, we believe weather data cleaning can never, and should never, be fully automated. Our data cleaning processes are always manually overseen by

meteorologists.

- We understand the importance of data provenance. While clients can request to receive our data as a "best-of" feed, we can also provide data showing the component data types: eg raw synop / cleaned synop / raw climate / edited climate / cleaned climate...etc. The use of such a hierarchy means the user can fully understand which data points have been cleaned. For data downloaded through our web site every data value carries a flag describing its provenance.

Standard Weather Data Packs. We have well over 100 different packs of weather data. These include packs defined by country, by sector (eg Cotton growing areas) or by weather variable (eg hourly Germany data pack for power market analysts). See here to view our packs and individual site inventory statistics.

These are just some of our data packs:
