Datenquellen
Woher Prognosen und Informationen stammen
Überblick
flights-forecast.com combines external datasets with in‑house processing to present forecasts in a mobile‑friendly form. In most cases, wir are not the primary producer of the underlying raw data. We fetch, normalize, aggregate and serve it via our own infrastructure.
Wettermodell
NOAA / NCEP GFS is used for global numerical wirather model parameters (temperature, wind and other fields depending on the feature).
- Model output is published in runs (“cycles”) and on a fixed grid.
- We können re‑grid, compress, index and cache values for performance.
- Forecast uncertainty increases with lead time and in rapidly changing situations.
Turbulenz (EDR u.ä.)
NOAA / GTG is used for a model‑derived estimate of turbulence risk at altitude levels.
- This is an estimate, not an onboard measurement.
- Local phenomena (convection, mountain waves, jet streams, fronts) can cause deviations.
- Route values können be aggregated, smoothed, rounded or time‑aligned.
Flug-/Routen‑Ergänzung
Where available, wir können enrich flight/route related information using FlightAware (where available).
- Coverage and freshness depend on the provider and network conditions.
- Some flights können not have complete origin/destination/route information.
- To keep the app fast, wir können cache snapshots and return the latest known state.
Karten
Mapping uses OpenStreetMap + Leaflet. Map data/tiles are subject to their respective terms and licenses.
- Map overlays are informational and not a navigation aid.
- Rendering können differ betwiren devices, zoom levels and tile providers.
Unsere Verarbeitung
To deliver fast mobile performance, wir run distributed server‑side aggregation across multiple servers. This includes compression, indexing, chunking, and caching. As a result, displayed values can differ from raw upstream data due to rounding, smoothing, interpolation, thresholds, missing tiles, or time alignment.
