Comprehensive weather insights help safeguard your operations and drive confident decisions to make everyday mining operations as safe and efficient as possible.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
Why Virtual Sensors Could Save California’s At-Risk Almond Yields
To say that the Golden State can lay claim to the title of king of almonds might be an understatement.
The Precipitation Problem In Agriculture

Does Delayed Planting Reduce U.S. Corn Yields?
With the vernal equinox now behind us, spring has officially arrived in the astronomical sense.
How Do Mountains Affect Precipitation?
In basic terms, the two things needed for precipitation are moisture and lift. Temperature profiles and landmasses can also affect how much rain a region gets. Mountains can have a significant effect on rainfall. When air reaches the mountains, it is forced to rise over this barrier. As the air moves up the windward side of
