FORENSIC WEATHER SYSTEM

摘要

A forensic weather analyzer compares actual meteorological readings with data from multiple weather models. The data is compared and a forensic weather model is selected as the weather model that most closely matches the meteorological readings. The forensic weather model is then used to provide meteorological information pertaining to a weather event such as a hurricane, at a specific location such as a street address.

1. A system comprising
at least one anemometer; at least one computing device, the at least one computing device comprising a processor, and a memory coupled to said processor, wherein the memory contains instructions, that when executed by the processor, perform the steps of: receiving temporal event data; receiving a subject location; generating a measurement region based on the subject location; and receiving a plurality of meteorological measurements that are collected within the measurement region; determining a station location for each of the plurality of meteorological measurements; retrieving an estimated data value from each of a plurality of weather models for each station location based on the temporal event data; for each station location, computing a difference between a received meteorological measurement and a received estimated data value for each of the plurality of weather models; and selecting a weather model from the plurality of weather models as a forensic weather model based on the computed differences.
