The short-term forecasts are based on the INCA analysis and nowcasting system. The INCA analysis and nowcasting system uses all available data sources, including station observations, remote sensing data, numerical weather prediction models and a...

Temperature, Precipitation, Wind, Humidity

The GeoSphere Austria warning system provides information to protect the population from potential weather hazards. As well as providing meteorological data such as warning progress, wind speeds, rainfall amounts and snow depths, it also...

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...

Temperature, Precipitation, Wind, Radiation, Humidity, Thunderstorm, Cloud cover, Pressure

The C-LAEF (Convection-permitting Limited-Area Ensemble Forecasting) ensemble system provides meteorological forecasts for the extended Alpine region on a 2.5-kilometer grid. It is recalculated twice daily and provides forecasts for 60 hours. The...

The air pollution forecasts are based on the online coupled chemical transport model, WRF-Chem. This model provides daily forecasts of key pollutants, such as ground-level ozone and particulate matter, for the next three days. The initial and...

Ozone, Particulate matter, Nitrogen dioxide

The WRF-Chem model is used for forecasting desert dust transport. The model domain extends from the equator to Scandinavia (grid resolution: 0.2° x 0.2°). Since 2022, the forecasts have also been provided by the “Sand and Dust Storm Warning...

Dust transport

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is an indicator of pollutant levels and can be considered a measure of the impact on human health. The forecasts are based on simulations using the WRF-Chem model (grid resolution: 3 x 3 km). The calculation of the Air...
