Questions tagged [weather]

For questions about scientific computing involving weather analysis and/or simulations. Any weather questions on this site should be programming-related.

This tag is for questions about scientific computing involving weather analysis and/or simulations. Appropriate questions for this tag could be:

  • How can I get the current temperature from a US zipcode?

  • What is an appropriate mesh size when interpolating measured air temperature data across a meso-scale weather station network?

  • How can I aggregate hourly wind velocity from a GRIB file to correlate with evaporative cooling?

Using this tag may indicate that you are asking an off-topic question ("What weather service APIs can I use in my application?"), or that you should be using a more specific tag for an API ("How do I get my local forecast from [superweather-api] in JSON format?").
