Attention: This dataset will be shut down on 4 November 2026, requiring a change to the endpoint. For more Information on the newly available higher resolution and parameters, please refer to the latest version: https://data.hub.geosphere.at/dataset/nwp-v2-1h-1km

Description

Public

The high-resolution weather forecast model AROME (Application of Research to Operations at MEsoscale) provides meteorological forecasts for the wider Alpine region on a 2.5-kilometre grid. It is recalculated every three hours and provides forecasts for up to 60 hours. The AROME model code is being further developed in collaboration with partner weather services in the ACCORD consortium. The model's orography is available via this link.
