What is the name of a commercial weather service that provides real-time weather information reported by personal weather stations that have access to this international website?
Surface weather observation Surface weather observations are the fundamental data used for safety as well as climatological reasons to forecast weather and issue warnings worldwide. They can be taken manually, by a weather observer, by computer through the use of automated weather stations, or in a hybrid scheme using weather observers to augment the otherwise automated weather station. The ICAO defines the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA), which is the model of the standard variation of pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity with altitude in the Earth's atmosphere, and is used to reduce a station pressure to sea level pressure. Airport observations can be transmitted worldwide through the use of the METAR observing code. Personal weather stations taking automated observations can transmit their data to the United States mesonet through the Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP), the UK Met Office through their Weather Observations Website (WOW), or internationally through the Weather Underground Internet site. A thirty-year average of a location's weather observations is traditionally used to determine the station's climate.
FreshyMap FreshyMap is a web application that provides real-time data visualizations of snow reports and short-term forecasts at ski resorts. The application functions by scraping and analyzing data from relevant sources such as avalanche centers, resort snowfall reports, weather models, snowtel readings, Department of Transportation data, and webcam feeds. A proprietary algorithm then determines a "Freshy Factor" rating for each ski area by analyzing information like day of the week, time of day, snowfall data from weather stations, five day snow and new snow, as well as reports from social networks. FreshyMap was founded in 2011 by Chris Helm and Brendan Heberton and now includes reports for approximately 160 resorts in three countries.
