ENVIRONMENTAL FORECASTS AND FORECAST DATA
• Solar UV index from May to September
• Pollen from June to August
• Trajectory analysis
• Wind and dispersion forecast data
• Short range prediction of wind and rain (direct model output)
ENVIRONMENTAL
RISK AND WARNINGS
• Heavy rain
• Thunderstorms
• High winds and gusts
• Frost, snow and road ice
• Low level ozone
• Forest fire risk Research
The numerical weather prediction model run by Met Éireann (HIRLAM)
provides the forecast data for end users as well as input data to other
environmental
models such as the road ice prediction system, nuclear emergency response models
and wind resource assessment. Research is currently underway to improve the prediction
of near surface conditions by an improved vertical representation of the boundary
layer and the impelmentation of an improved land surface scheme and convection/condensation
scheme within HIRLAM.
