General information:

MetGIS GmbH is a spin-off of the University of Vienna. The company delivers highly specialized innovative meteorological services, focusing on the world-wide prediction of mountain weather.

MetGIS GmbH operates an extremely powerful, automated weather forecast system. Based on some of the most advanced technologies, this produces highly detailed real-time predictions for the world’s most important mountain ranges. In contrast to the common standard, extra high resolution terrain data are included in the forecast generation process, resulting in a supreme quality of the calculated predictions. For the first time, the production of area forecasts for rather limited regions (ski resorts, open-pit mines, individual mountains, etc.) is possible.

The predictions are available in graphically excellent representation via the website www.metgis.com, but are also provided in form of fine-mesh numerical grids with horizontal grid spaces of 100 m or below.

Customers profit, among other things, from the possibility to use their resources in a more cost-efficient way and to lower the risk of weather-related accidents.

Web-based weather forecast

This web interface for professionals is a favorite with enterprises and institutions whose activities and economic success are influenced by the weather conditions in mountain areas.

Typical users are traffic operation centers, open-pit mining companies, avalanche control centers, operators of ski resorts, cable car companies, the tourism industry, event organizers, agricultural companies and even national meteorological services.

As a user of MetGIS Pro you do not need any specific meteorological formation. You receive individual, tailor-made high resolution forecast services. You can access your specific predictions after entering your user name and password on www.metgis.com.

You have the possibility to select the exact geographic coverage of your prediction maps. Additionally you can choose which geographic information you want to have displayed on your maps (including specific waypoints like cable car stations, mountain tops, etc.). You may define the meteorological parameters available for selection (including special parameters) and also the international numerical forecast models used as a base for your MetGIS predictions. Seven-day point and line forecasts are available for you and can be retrieved by simple mouse-clicks in the prediction maps.
