WOW

Prodata 6th August 2011

WOW is the new UK Met Office’s Weather Observations Website – a project that allows private observers to upload weather data measured by their own AWS systems to the Met Office computers and to be displayed on UKMO web pages. Although this isn’t quite product news, it is a topic that we’re sure will be of interest to many of our customers and so we’ve added a page here that provides an introduction to WOW.

We often have small background development projects that we'd like to pursue but that we don't have time to resource fully. Please email us if you might be interested in collaborating on these - more details on request. We'd like to hear from anyone able to call in (to Ely - near Cambridge) for a chat in person and who might have skills/interests in weather data and/or programming. These are typically small projects that might be of interest to hobbyists but which are non-commercial in nature. So, in general, we're not in a position to offer employment or substantive payment, but what we can do is to offer ideas, discussion and eg the loan of hardware to anyone who might be interested in collaborating in a worthwhile hobby project. However, there might be the possibility of some modest quid pro quo and if any projects prove unexpectedly successful then we'd be happy to discuss options for further joint development & marketing.
