@ramzik99 said in Adding GEOS model for dust forecast:

As for dust forecasting, the current CAMS model by ECMWF has a resolution of 40 km, and doesn't provide accurate forecasts about dust. So i recommend adding the GEOS model by NASA, which has a higher resolution and provides more realistic results.

I live in the Middle East, and dusty conditions are quite common here, so its important for me to be up to date, and i also recommed adding it to the main forecast panel, like the fog.

Thanks Ramzi,
Windy team,
Yes, we strongly need accurate dust forecast please.

Thanks for your reply..
So, which one should I take into account? weather picker or the location forecast?
As we are astrophotography group, We travel to far dark locations and need to know the more accurate forecasts, We always depend on Windy, The best app. among others for years.

BR,

Please see weather picker vs location forecast,
Picker shows clouds 25% while location forecasts shows no clouds at all for all models .. Is this a bug?

Thanks for your reply..
Is there away to get GEOS-5 forecast in any website or app?
I searched, but no visual forecast for that model.

In fact I observed the Dust mass for a month with the ECMWF IFS it gives me very high numbers dust mass while the actual atmosphere is not dusty at all, This happened all the time and not once or twice, Should I do something to make it more accurate or do I miss something?
Loc. of observation:

Hello Windy team,

Regarding the "Dust Mass", I noticed that:
1- In PC (windy.com) there is only one model "CAMS 40km" = ECMWF IFS
2- In mobile app. there is only one model "GEOS-5 22km"
I have 2 questions please:
a- Which one is more accurate ?
b- Can you provide the two models in both (windy.com) and the mobile app.

Best Regards !
Ali

Hi,

When I check picker for a location it says 20% clouds
but when checking the compare screen it says no clouds for same location, time and weather model !
Am I missed something here ?

Thanks
