Weather is one of the most complex elements in our world, making it one of the most difficult to predict.
However, understanding weather phenomena is crucial for preparing and protecting us from damaging natural disasters.
Supercomputers are essential for helping researchers discover new ways to view our weather, understand climate changes,
and predict volatile weather patterns.

Weather Data Management
Data Collection
We collect weather data from sources like stations, satellites, and ocean buoys, capturing critical information like
temperature, humidity, wind speed, and more.
WMO Code Decoding
Aura provides expertise in decoding weather observations encoded in standard WMO codes for precise data analysis and forecasting.
Weather Modeling
Using weather models like GFS, ECMWF, and WRF, we process data for accurate forecasting, combining observational data
with model outputs.
Visualization
Our tools turn weather data into charts, graphs, and maps, making complex weather patterns easy to interpret.
Product Generation
We generate forecasts, warnings, and reports based on processed data, helping industries like agriculture, aviation,
and defense make informed decisions.
Distribution
Aura distributes weather products through websites, apps, and alerts, ensuring timely access to critical meteorological data.
Weather Models and Their Applications
Global Forecast System (GFS)
The GFS is a global numerical weather prediction system that models atmospheric and oceanic conditions, providing weather forecasts for up to 16 days.
European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)
ECMWF offers medium-range forecasts with high accuracy, making it a trusted model for forecasting up to 10 days ahead.
Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model
WRF is a highly customizable model used for both atmospheric research and operational forecasting at regional levels.
North American Mesoscale (NAM) Model
NAM focuses on mesoscale weather events in North America, providing high-resolution forecasts up to 84 hours.
Rapid Refresh (RAP) Model
RAP provides hourly updates and short-term weather predictions, particularly valuable for aviation and severe weather forecasting.
High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) Model
HRRR offers very high-resolution weather predictions updated hourly, with a focus on severe weather events.
Canadian Meteorological Centre Global Environmental Multiscale (CMC GEM)
The CMC GEM model offers both global and regional weather predictions, widely used in Canadian meteorology.
UK Met Office Unified Model
This model provides detailed weather predictions for the UK, integrating atmosphere, land, and ocean dynamics.
ICON (Icosahedral Nonhydrostatic) Model
ICON is a global model developed by the German Weather Service, offering high-resolution forecasts for both atmospheric and oceanic phenomena.
Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS)
COAMPS is specialized in mesoscale atmospheric and oceanic processes, often used for military and coastal applications.
