Derivation And Production Of High-Resolution, Very Short-Term Weather Forecasts
US Patent:
7542852, Jun 2, 2009
Filed:
Apr 2, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/695353
Inventors:
Bruce L. Rose - Smyrna GA, US
Ian James Miller - Marietta GA, US
William Anthony Cassanova - Marietta GA, US
Ian James Miller - Marietta GA, US
William Anthony Cassanova - Marietta GA, US
International Classification:
G01R 13/00, G01R 29/26, G06F 19/00
US Classification:
702 3, 702 5, 7317016, 342 26 R
Abstract:
Weather forecasting systems and methods for deriving and producing very short-term weather forecasts. Weather data and forecast information maybe input to derive very short-term weather forecasts in the 0-6 hour time frame. The system and methods include an expert system employing a hybrid or blending of forecasting approaches, with dynamic or intelligent arbitration of the different numerical, statistical, and human-driven techniques to produce more accurate weather forecasts for very short-term time periods. A calibration or internal verification against ground truth may be run independently with a time lag to produce more accurate future predictions of atmospheric state. The systems and methods may run in modes that produce either high resolution weather forecasts in the short-term period of 0-6 hours or a combination of synthetic, real-time weather observations/conditions and high resolution, short-term weather forecasts.
Providing Weather Data For A Location Using Weather Data Stored For A Finite Number Of Locations
US Patent:
8538696, Sep 17, 2013
Filed:
Sep 25, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/860695
Inventors:
William Anthony Cassanova - Marietta GA, US
Assignee:
The Weather Channel, LLC - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
G01W 1/02, G01W 1/04, G01W 1/06, G01B 11/03
US Classification:
702 3, 702 5, 702 16, 702 36
Abstract:
Methods and systems of the invention provide appropriate weather data for a location by associating it with a location or locations for which weather data is stored. Such stored data may have been collected from one or multiple weather data sources. An image or video may be associated with weather data selected from near-current stored weather data for one or more nearby locations. Certain methods also allow observation and/or forecast weather data for any specified location to be provided using stored weather data for a finite number of locations from one or more weather data sources. For example, the location coordinates of a specified location may be used to determine an appropriate location (exact or substitute) for which weather data was previously collected and stored.
