Plugging in new forecast models
-
Hello,
UAE's meteo agency provides free public access to a number of high resolution models for the Gulf region. I want to use them with windy app. What should I start with if I am to write a new Windy forecast model plugin?

@Paul-Ni
What are these high resolution models developed for this area? -
@idefix37 UAE meteo agency runs local COSMO, ICON, GFS, IFS at 1 to 3 kms resolution
-
COSMO and ICON are available at the resolution you specified, but not GFS or ECMWF, which are available globally at the same resolution as that shown in Windy.
-
@idefix37 here is a public web frontend https://www.rain.ae/

@Paul-Ni
OK, so these are the models you mentioned, but all modified by the NCM to achieve a finer resolution. For example, they state that the NCM-GFS has a 1 km resolution. I imagine they adjust the raw temperature data from the model forecasts (at a 22 km resolution in the case of GFS) by modulating it according to altitude, which is of course available at a higher resolution. Is this really reliable?
But for the wind I don’t know how they can change the nominal resolution to a much higher resolution. -
@idefix37 where can I find the documentation of Windy's JS API?
-
@Paul-Ni
Only a member of the Windy staff can informs you. -
-
@Suty where is the API to load map layers, and add model sources?
-
@paul-ni Do you talk about the our API service, which can be used in your app or about building your own external plugin in Windy?
