The Met Office operates the SADIS WAFS Gridded data API service in its role as WAFC London, to support air navigation in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. The service supplies “tiles” of meteorological gridded data that match flight levels, in response to tailored API requests.
- Data source: from either WAFC London or WAFC Washington.
- Available as coverage tiles for the whole globe, or as one of 8 individual regional tiles representing approximately 1/8th of the globe.
- Data sets are refreshed following model updates every 6 hours.
- 'Main' data sets: wind (u, v), temperature, relative humidity, geopotential height, max wind (i.e. jet) and tropopause data
- at 0.25-degree out to either 66 or 120 hours, depending on model update.
- at 1.25-degree resolutions out to 36 hours.
- WAFS harmonised 'Hazards': icing severity, cumulonimbus and turbulence severity
- at 0.25-degree resolution, out to 48 hours.
