Why use WRF Cloud?
- Self-managed
- This isn’t a forecasting service. This is a tool you install on your own AWS account. You have full control over managing the system, adding users and controlling access levels, model configurations, costs, etc. Use it when you want, how you want.
- Little cloud computing expertise required
- Our primary goal is to abstract away as much of the cloud computing details for orchestrating this system as possible. We’ve automated much of the installation process as well to ease the process.
- Easy to use
- Once installed, everything is managed through a simple intuitive website, leaving little need to login to cloud services or AWS accounts. Add and manage users and configure, run and view forecasts all directly from your website.
- Cost efficient
- Serverless architectures and smart compute cluster choices mean low costs to keep the system installed and accessible, and when running a forecast, you only pay for what you use to complete that forecast.
- On-demand forecasts
- Forecasts can be launched anywhere, anytime, with nothing more than a mobile phone and internet connection.
- Launch an additional forecast cycle to hone in an approaching weather hazard in your region.
- Deploy a forecast as a rapid response tool in the aftermath of a natural disaster to aid in recovery planning.
