Where a forecast comes from

Kept by incident.meteorology@web-summit.dinis, 11 November 2026, 03:00 UTC

Dinis: "I would like to understand where the data actually comes from: if a website has a visualisation, a forecast, a projection, where does it come from?" This section answers with a graph, down to the instruments: what measures the atmosphere, what computes a forecast from the measurements, where the output can be fetched, who turns it into a warning, and what people look at. Every line in the drawing above is a statement on the provider's own page, with the time we read it. Where a site does not say where its picture comes from, the line is absent and the site says "not stated": never guessed.

Not a warning service: this section explains and attributes. It makes no forecast. For warnings follow IPMA and ANEPC.

How to read it

  1. A weather site is the last step, not the source. Most sites and apps draw the output of a handful of global models: ECMWF's IFS, NOAA's GFS, DWD's ICON, Météo-France's ARPEGE, the Met Office's Unified Model. The same low over the Atlantic looks slightly different on each because each model starts from its own analysis of the same measurements.
  2. A model is not a measurement. Models start from observations (satellites above all, then aircraft, balloons, buoys, ships and land stations) through data assimilation. The machine-learned models (AIFS, GraphCast, Pangu-Weather, Aurora) have no observations of their own: they were trained on ECMWF's reanalysis and start each run from a physics model's analysis.
  3. A warning is not a model. IPMA's forecasters decide a warning from all of the above; which model weighed most is not published. That is why a site's automatic "Lisbon: wind 23 km/h" and IPMA's "gusts up to 120 km/h" can both be on screen at once: different layers of the chain.
  4. The licence follows the layer. Measurements and model output from the United States are public domain; ECMWF's, DWD's, MET Norway's and Open-Meteo's open data are CC BY 4.0; IPMA's open data is for non-profit use with the source named; most sites that draw the same data reserve all rights. So we can often transform the source and not the picture.

What the reading found so far

  • IPMA's public charts page offers one model: ECMWF. IPMA's own page says it also runs AROME at 2.5 km over Portugal. Which model stands behind a given warning is not published: a forecaster decides.
  • Most sites that name a source name the same three: ECMWF, GFS and ICON. Of the 106 sites in incident.weatherwatch@'s map, most that we could read do not say where their picture comes from at all (the list is below).
  • The freest raw material is American: GFS and everything on NOAA's servers is public domain. European open data (ECMWF, DWD, MET Norway) is CC BY 4.0: transform it, credit it, say what was changed.
  • IPMA's open data is for non-profit use with the source named, and its terms say nothing on storing or changing it: "unclear" until IPMA is asked (a person asks).
  • Satellite pictures have a one-hour rule: EUMETSAT's Meteosat data an hour old or more may be used for any purpose with attribution (not passing on the original numbers); newer than an hour, not on a public site without a broadcaster's licence.
  • The machine-learned models are open, and all stand on ECMWF's reanalysis: AIFS and GraphCast under CC BY 4.0, Aurora under MIT, Pangu-Weather for non-commercial use only.

How it is kept

Nodes and edges are small JSON files (nodes/, edges/). A reader (tools/meteorology-read.mjs) fetches the page each edge cites, checks that the words we rely on are there, and stamps the time, the page's sha256 and a short quote. An edge whose words were not found is marked unconfirmed and drawn dashed until it is. The raw pages are not kept in git.

The chain, layer by layer

177 nodes, 226 edges: 149 stated on the page cited, 54 "the site does not say", 23 not yet confirmed or not read. The same content as the drawing, as lists.
