Micro- and mesoscale models in numerical weather forecasting

Data from Earth observation satellites are routinely assimilated within numercial weather prediction models to help provide more accurate weather forecasts. A company called MeteoSim is investigating the development and use of micro- and mesoscale models in numerical weather forecasting for the private sector. MeteoSim is an alumnus of BarcelonaActiva, a member of the European Space Incubators Network (ESINET). The company has more than 100 simulations operating on a daily basis – covering all continents, with different configurations and scales based on user needs.
