Hi-Res GIS Weather Layers Are Essential to Business and Government
Today’s marriage of advanced weather information and analytics, along with ever-evolving mapping abilities, produces capabilities once unimaginable. It’s now possible—from the comfort and convenience of any computer or smart device—to “see” golf ball-size hail descending upon on a rural intersection, to identify specific geographic areas under the gun for heavy precipitation, or to determine whether
How To Weather A Storm Using MDSS And Vehicle Location Data
While atmospheric and roadway conditions are central to the success of most MDSS solutions, Joseph Urh reveals how vehicle location data from fleet management systems can provide a wealth of storm insights.
Pavement Forecasting: How MDSS Can Save Your Summer
While the benefits of using maintenance decision support systems (MDSS) in the winter months are well known – with the forecasting tools excelling in representing the effects of wintry precipitation on pavements – they can also prove beneficial during the summer months.
Some Like It Hot, Most Not
As we move from spring to summer, an interesting question arises: should those hoping for big corn yields this fall be cheering for a cooler- or warmer-than-normal summer?

Many in the Dallas area were awakened in the middle of the night by hail up to the size of baseballs. Severe storms moved through the area after midnight. Damage to roofs and vehicles is being reported across the metro, and roofing companies and windshield repair shops will soon be bustling. RadarScope, with hail contours
A Look at Alberto and the Data Behind the Science
While many may think of WDT as the parent company of WeatherOps forecasts or RadarScope, we are much more than that. We also work with all types of weather data using GIS, APIs, and more. Let’s take a look at the variety of images we can produce using data from the recent Tropical Storm Alberto.
Field Data Poised For Future Food Chain
Real-time data from the field is poised to have more impact on tomorrow’s supply chain.
Will the Kilauea Eruption Impact Global Weather Patterns?
While Kilauea has been erupting continuously since 1983, the volcano has become more active in recent weeks, spewing both large quantities of lava on the northeastern flank of the volcano into some populated areas, and sending explosive bursts of ash into the atmosphere at the summit. So, will the volcanic activity there have any impact
What Are Upper Air Maps and How Are They Used?
The location of troughs and ridges can play an essential role in a region’s weather. Weather observations above the ground are collected by weather balloons. Data from one a single site are plotted on a sounding, but an upper air chart can show information from multiple observation sites. Most upper air charts are plotted in
