Custom weather prediction

You tell us your weather prediction needs, we set up a custom and recurrent modeling schedule based on your input and our modeling and meteorological know-how. The model data becomes available at predictable times, automatically.

On demand WRF runs

Use our Forecast Wizard to start or schedule runs immediately, from your browser. It allows you to run WRF online for any region in the world, no setup or supercomputer queues, dead simple.

Run WRF in the Cloud, no specialized WRF HPC hardware required.

The Forecast Wizard allows you to run WRF in the cloud by simply choosing a region and start and end time for your simulation. Our system takes care of everything else under the hood and creates an optimal model configuration. You can run custom weather forecasts immediately, or schedule them for later. Forecast Wizard is ideal for when you need WRF runs only once in a while, or for frequently moving regions such as for sports events and outdoor expeditions. No expertise or specialized WRF HPC hardware required.

View your WRF forecasts right in the browser, as they are running. Download output data in NetCDF or GRIB format, available the moment they're output from your custom WRF run. The Forecast Dashboard uses predictive analysis to determine when your run will complete. You can download the files from the browser, or scripted from our API server. Once complete, you can download the entire model output as a single zip file.

Schedule custom weather models to run when you need them. From time-lagged ensembles to a series of latest WRF runs in real-time, Cloudrun’s Forecast Scheduler is powerful and flexible enough to handle almost any scheduling requirement. This capability is ideal for recurring weather prediction runs over the same region.
