A short guide to the weather data available on the portal and the tasks each product supports.
What is available on the portal
The portal brings map layers, point and route weather, briefing tools and integration options into one interface.
User categories
Compare everyday and aviation categories, their weather priorities and how the selection works.
NOAA models
Choose between GFS, GEFS, AIGFS, AIGEFS, HGEFS and NAEFS. Understand ensemble means, spread and forecast ranges.
Learning: altitudes and flight levels
Understand AGL, AMSL, QNH and FL, and how to select a forecast level. Diagrams, examples and self-check.
Map and layers
Explore forecasts, observations and aviation hazards by area, time and altitude.
Point and vertical profiles
Inspect weather at selected coordinates, then open an aerogram or a time-versus-altitude section.
Routes, bulletins and integrations
Draw a flight route, build a weather profile or bulletin, and embed selected products through widgets and APIs.
How to read the data
- Check the source, valid time and atmospheric level before comparing products.
- Observations describe reported conditions; forecast fields and derived diagnostics describe model output.
- Use official approved sources and operational procedures for safety-critical decisions.
