Источники данных
Откуда берём прогнозы и сопутствующую информацию
Обзор
flights-forecast.com combines external datasets with in‑house processing to present forecasts in a mobile‑friendly form. In most cases, we are not the primary producer of the underlying raw data. We fetch, normalize, aggregate and serve it via our own infrastructure.
Погодная модель
NOAA / NCEP GFS is used for global numerical weather model parameters (temperature, wind and other fields depending on the feature).
- Model output is published in runs (“cycles”) and on a fixed grid.
- We may re‑grid, compress, index and cache values for performance.
- Forecast uncertainty increases with lead time and in rapidly changing situations.
Турбулентность (EDR и подобное)
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 may be aggregated, smoothed, rounded or time‑aligned.
Данные рейса/маршрута
Where available, we may enrich flight/route related information using FlightAware (where available).
- Coverage and freshness depend on the provider and network conditions.
- Some flights may not have complete origin/destination/route information.
- To keep the app fast, we may cache snapshots and return the latest known state.
Карты
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 may differ between devices, zoom levels and tile providers.
Наша обработка
To deliver fast mobile performance, we 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.
