Abstract
The system as described collects and utilizes weather data sensor information in order to rapidly collect and update weather forecasts using real-time weather data collected at high rates of frequency, and use this collected high frequency weather data to rapidly correct and update the weather forecasts generated by the system.
Claims23
A computerized method of calculating location-specific weather data, the computerized method comprising:
- receiving, by a communications interface in electronic communication with a first data source, radio frequency link data for at least one radio frequency link, the radio frequency link data including a signal attenuation measurement and at least one link location identifier that identifies radio frequency link endpoints;
- pre-processing, with at least one processor, the radio frequency link data, thereby producing pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data having an attenuation measurement corresponding to the signal attenuation measurement and a link geolocation corresponding to the at least one link location identifier;
- providing, with the at least one processor, the pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data to a first data store, the first data store storing the pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data;
- and
- processing, on a schedule with the at least one processor, the pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data using a predefined data transform, the predefined data transform calculating first location-specific weather data based on the pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data and the link geolocation,
- wherein pre-processing of the radio frequency link data and processing of the pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data include associating the pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data with a cadence instance Mi of a cadence cycle comprising a series of repeating cadence instances configured to asynchronously collect radio frequency link data and pre-process the collected radio frequency link data into weather parameter data, the cadence cycle having a time delay between cadence instances.

A computerized system for calculating location-specific weather data, the computerized system comprising:
- at least one processor configured to receive radio frequency link data including a signal attenuation measurement and at least one link location identifier that identifies link endpoints, the at least one processor pre-processing the radio frequency link data to create pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data having a link attenuation measurement corresponding to a geolocation corresponding to the at least one link location identifier;
- the at least one processor being further configured to process the pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data using a predefined data transform, the predefined data transform calculating first location-specific weather data based on the pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data and the at least one link location identifier,
- wherein pre-processing of the radio frequency link data and processing of the pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data include associating the pre-processed radio frequency link attenuation data with a cadence instance Mi of a cadence cycle comprising a series of repeating cadence instances configured to asynchronously collect radio frequency link data and pre-process the collected radio frequency link data into weather parameter data, the cadence cycle having a time delay between cadence instances.
