Get high-resolution wind predictions on your Android or iOS mobile device. WindNinja Mobile downscales National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) weather forecasts, accounting for mechanical and thermal effects of the underlying terrain, to generate high-resolution surface wind predictions for your area of interest.
# WindNinja Mobile Features *** * Request and view high-resolution, near-surface wind predictions * View your location on the map using your device's GPS * Several map layers, including topo, satellite, and TopoFire available as basemaps * Email and SMS notifications * Connectivity/cell coverage not required to view wind predictions * View MODIS and VIIRS fire detections and GeoMAC fire perimeters * View the NCEP weather model forecast (in addition to the high-resolution predictions)
# Using the App *** 1. Swoop out an area of interest on the map (< 50 x 50 km). 2. Enter a run name. 3. Choose a forecast model. 4. Choose the forecast duration. 5. Select the appropriate vegetation option for your area. 6. Choose notification options. 7. Click submit. You're done! 8.
