Norman, OK – January 10, 2018 — Weather Decision Technologies®, Inc. (WDT), the leading decision support and weather analytics company announces the launch of 48 new weather data services that compliment an already robust GIS offering. WDT’s success with real-time high availability commercial weather data services built on ESRI’s ArcGIS Enterprise platform has prompted WDT to expand this offering.
Included in the 48 new data services are global current conditions analysis, global forecast data out to 10 days, and high-resolution forecast data over North America. These services are built on WDT’s global weather data platform which provides industry leading forecast and historical data.
“The ArcGIS Server makes it very easy for customers using ESRI maps and applications to easily plug and play these data services into what they’ve already created” says Matt Gaffner, WDT’s GIS Weather Solutions Guru. “The handshake is pretty seamless behind the scenes between an ESRI application and an ESRI data service. For organizations not using ESRI for mapping, WDT’s new data services can also be consumed in alternative interactive mapping applications.”
WDT’s high resolution forecast data can extend existing maps and applications built by ESRI users across many industries, enabling them to build new applications for spatial analysis. For example, traders in weather sensitive commodities can glean more insights, utilities can forecast load, and agricultural operators can better predict how weather will impact their operations.
