WeatherGrid©

The WeatherGrid© Networking System is the most complete and comprehensive real-time weather warning network, integrating live lightning detection with early warning of severe weather. The WeatherGrid© works by the triangulation of individual StormGrid© nodes. Each StormGrid© node includes only the highest quality sensors and instruments in conjunction with radar and satellite imagery. The combination of this data produces a clearer picture of current and developing weather conditions while recording the data for playback and analysis. The result is unprecedented storm mapping and storm tracking capabilities.

Clients who already have a subscription may retrieve their data here.

Overview of WeatherGrid©

Concept

WeatherGrid©

The WeatherGrid© Networking System consists of a single Web Server with three or more external nodes connected via the Internet. Each node is a customized StormGrid© Weather Mapping Module at a specific location. Clients with real-time safety concerns will choose to have a StormGrid© on-site which contributes data to the WeatherGrid© Network. Subscribers will have access to the weather information by logging into the WeatherGrid© Network Web Server using their favorite browser.

The Goal
The Weather Grid is currently active and expanding throughout the Mid-Atlantic Corridor. ProActive's goal is to provide a subscription based network that gives the end-user the information required to know when to seek shelter from a storm and prepare for the arrival of severe weather. The primary goal is safety with the ability to customize data for a variety of applications including environmental, agricultural, industrial and mission critical. Each StormGrid© Module and WeatherGrid© Subscription is specifically designed around the customer’s needs.
