    • Canadian Weather Cameras available through NavCanada

      Hello,
      Love the site, been using it for years now and it's come a long way - well done!

      http://www.metcam.navcanada.ca/hb/index.jsp?lang=e

      You can find all of the public access airport weather cams for Canada on this page - not sure how you would go about integrating the data or if it's even possible, but it would be cool to be able to see the live cams through Windy.

      Thanks!

      @idefix37

      " NBM Conus
      A brief comparison of the NBM Conus domain to the NDFD Conus domain is useful. Where the NDFD Conus data is restricted only to the USA, the NBM data covers the entire grid, including the portions of Canada and Mexico that the NDFD data omits.

      The NBM Conus domain is also slightly larger, extending further west and north compared to the NDFD domain. "

      There is also a list on that luckgrib site of the models the NBM is using in it's latest version. I was told once that this model is the one model to rule them all (hahaha) And it will only improve with time - ingesting more data, learning etc.

    • RE: Testers wanted: Weather radar USA!

      Fantastic addition! I take a look at this site daily and you folks are doing great work!
      I know it's still experimental and in the early stages - do you think you'll be looking into adding Canadian Radar data in the future? Again, great and wonderful work - keep it up! :D

      More Interesting Info - This is from a MetEd course: Introduction to the NWS National Blend of Global Models

      3.2 Expected Outcomes
      The National Blend of global Models will provide a better starting point to forecasters based on improved science and will help reduce boundary inconsistencies in the NDFD. Providing WFOs with the NBM will also streamline the process and reduce the level of effort required to produce medium-range forecasts. The expected outcomes of the NBM are:

      Better deterministic guidance for NDFD forecast consistency
      Better deterministic guidance for NDFD with reduced bias and errors
      Better probabilistic guidance (in future NBM Versions)
      Better representation of complex terrain with guidance derived from coarse global models

      @ivo I'm not entirely sure how one would collect and display the data, it might only be available for free in .gif's - but here is a link you can maybe check out - http://open.canada.ca/en/suggested-datasets/radar-data

      @ivo I see @dzuremar 's reply now.... I see, there are definitely some things the Canadian government can learn about sharing important weather data across the country, that's for sure....

      I noticed you linked this site in that other thread - they have info on the NBM as well

    • NBM - National Blend of Models

      Just wondering if you are looking into ingesting the NBM in the future. Not sure exactly which models are being blended - I assume those involved with the United States.
      Here is a link to info:

    • RE: Options to view the Canadian models, RDPS and GDPS

      @Tomber42 Is this maybe what you're looking for? GRIB data is available for free

      https://weather.gc.ca/grib/

      "The Meteorological Service of Canada makes this GRIB2 format database available to private sector meteorologists, academics, and the general public. It contains data from analysis systems along with output from many of the Canadian Meteorological Centre's Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. The data is free, under standard terms and conditions."

    • RE: Canadian Weather Cameras available through NavCanada

      Thanks, I realize that. I believe it will need to be done on the back end.....I can't add each individual camera, there are hundreds of cameras and hundreds of views - it's a Canada wide network of airport cameras.

    • Sea Temperature

      Good Day,
      This is not a game breaking bug - but I wanted to bring it to your attention.
      I select "Sea Temperature".
      I select "Temperature Anomaly" - it populates the sea surface temperature anomalies and highlights the "Temperature Anomaly" button. All good.
      I select another parameter to show - example "Wind" - populates wind data - All good.
      I then select "Sea Temperature" again - the "Temperature Anomaly" button is highlighted (I like it - keeps the last known selection), however Actual Temperature data are what is being show - NOT Temperature Anomaly data. I then have to click the "Actual Temperature" button, then click the "Temperature Anomaly" button in order to see the Temperature Anomaly data again. This also happens if I leave the page and click back on my browser in order to return to the page.

      Currently on Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 - using Google Chrome Version 60.0.3112.113 (Official Build) (32-bit)

      I've attached a few captures of this - numbered 1-5.
      Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!
      Cheers!
