During the last weeks, the number of weather models we present has grown to more than 40. The model data is added to the MultiModel, and you can select the individual models in the selection menu at the bottom of the diagram. Moreover, the models are also available in our weather maps. You can activate individual weather models in the lower right corner of the maps interface.
The model data have also been added to our unique forecast data calculation algorithm (mLM), combining several data sources and thereby archiving the highest publicly documented accuracy. The additional data sources will further improve local forecast data shown in the meteograms and on our main page for the particular regions.
National Blend of Models (NBM)
This weather model covers North America and calculates hourly weather data for the current day plus a 5 days weather forecast. It consists of more than 45 input weather models and has a high spatial resolution of 2.5km in 3 hourly time steps. The weather model is provided by NOAA.
Meso-Scale Model (MSM)
The Japanese meteorological Agency operates the MSM weather model, which has a spatial resolution of 5km and covers Japan and its surrounding regions. It calculates weather forecasts in hourly time steps for 78 forecast hours.
COSMO-5M and COSMO-2I
COSMO is the abbreviation for COnsortium for Small-scale MOdelling consisting of weather models from various national meteorological services. The first consortium was already formed in 1998, and over the years, it was further extended. The latest model developments contained weather models from more than 8 national weather services.
The COSMO-5M forecasts cover Central Europe (first image) with 5km spatial resolution, whereas forecast data are available for 72 hours. Furthermore, the COSMO-2I mainly focuses on Italy and the Alps, as shown in the second screenshot, and provides forecast data for 48 hours.
