WRF Service Estimation

Estimate the parameters and speed for your custom WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model simulations. Define your simulation area (model domain) on the map, adjust parameters like grid resolution, required forecast length, and runtime, and see how they impact each other and the estimated cost based on our standard preselected packages.

1. Define Simulation Area

Click and drag to draw a rectangle defining your area of interest. Ctrl-click&drag moves the map.

Min Latitude: -
Max Latitude: -
Min Longitude: -
Max Longitude: -
Selected Area (km²): -

2. Estimate Standard Package Parameters

Package 2 offers approx. double the performance.

Minimum contract: 1 month.

Adjust parameters below. The value you change last (highlighted in blue) determines the others. Changing the map area adjusts Runtime by default. Define area first!

Estimated Grid (for selected area & resolution):

Grid Points (X x Y): -
Total Grid Cells: -
Est. max. Runs per Day: -

Note: Actual performance depends on setup details like chosen physical parametrization schemes or vertical level density. These estimates represent commonly used configurations suitable for operational weather forecast tasks.

Input Data & Output Formats

Available Input Data Sources:

  • GFS (Global Forecast System)
  • DWD-ICON (Global & EU nests)
  • ECMWF-IFS (Open Data Programme)
  • ERA5 (Reanalysis) - great for research purposes
  • Other sources available upon request for custom solutions.

Output Delivery Options:

  • Standard formats: GRIB1, GRIB2, NetCDF (download grib2 example)
  • Gridded data delivery to MySQL database (see demo)
  • Output grids: Native WRF or standard Lat-Lon projection
  • Custom formats/processing available for enterprise solutions
  • Our WRF showcase example is available here.

Custom & Enterprise Solutions

Beyond our standard packages, we offer tailored solutions to meet your specific needs:

Enterprise Solutions

Need specific hardware configurations, advanced model setups, custom domains with nests, unique performance requirements, or different input/output options? We can design a dedicated solution for you.

Managed WRF on Your Hardware

Have your own computing resources? We can install, configure, and manage the WRF model on your infrastructure, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

For custom requirements and pricing for these options, please contact us to discuss your project.
