The Weather On-Demand Framework by Ólafur Rögnvaldsson, Karolina Stanislawska, João A. Hackerott

“…This paper describes the Weather On-Demand (WOD) forecasting framework which is a software stack used to run operational and on-demand weather forecasts. The WOD framework is a distributed system for the following: (1) running the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model for data assimilation and forecasts by triggering either scheduled or on-demand jobs; (2) gathering upstream weather forecasts and observations from a wide variety of sources; (3) reducing output data file sizes for permanent storage; (4) making results available through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs); (5) making data files available to custom post-processors. …”
