Weather maps
With the meteoblue API you can get access to innovative weather maps that cover the whole world with a wide range of variables overlays like temperature, precipitation, pressure and many more. The weather maps are available for different heights like ground level or up to 200hPa. .
Special services
MOS
MOS (Model output statistics) is the technique of post-processing the output from numerical weather forecast models using statistics of local historical or current weather measurements. The MOS service substantially improves the accuracy of the forecast data for temperature, radiation and PV power generation (other variables can be specified on request). Microclimatic of site specific conditions like seasonal fog, shading or spectral sensitivity are accurately forecasted when PV MOS was implemented.
