WDT’s operational processing systems are located in a state-of-the-art, hardened, secure facility with redundant power, cooling, and network connectivity. With multiple Internet paths, fully redundant NOAAPort receivers, and a direct feed of full-volume raw radar data from all US and Canadian radar sites, our data ingest is designed for maximum reliability. This has allowed WDT to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration as a Qualified Internet Communications Provider (QICP) for weather information.
Depending on your specific needs, we have a variety of protocols and data formats that we support and we can create custom versions as necessary. Our GeoPlex™ image tile service allows external applications to access image products such as WDT’s quality-controlled radar products and satellite imagery, providing the fastest and most scalable image tile service on the market that can be readily integrated into your mobile or online weather application. Our suite of standard product feeds allow customers to retrieve current conditions, forecast, and critical weather advisories in XML using a flexible, HTTP-based API. Our engineers have worked with virtually every meteorological data format in use and can readily assist in determining the most appropriate format for your needs.

Using WDT’s exclusive implementation of McGill University’s MAPLE system.
produced by WDT’s operational NWP system that incorporates advanced data assimilation combined with the state-of-the-science Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. WDT currently runs over 300 operational WRF simulations each day and can customize grids as needed. Additionally, WDT creates a suite of derived products such as aviation impact parameters from our custom NWP forecasts as well as from government NWP models
Combining a variety of NWP and digital data sources using WDT-developed algorithms to provide forecasts for over 120,000 around the world, covering virtually every populated locations and points in between.
