Het Nederlandse IT-bedrijf TransIP is al bijna vijf jaar lang een trouwe supporter van StormPlatform. Het 'Team.Blue' van TransIP ondersteunt StormPlatform met meerdere PerformanceVPS-servers omdat ze vinden dat wij vooruitstrevend bezig zijn in het verbeteren van (extreem) weersvoorspellingen op de korte termijn.
TransIP schrijft op hun website: 'Alhoewel TransIP zich vanouds ook op webhosting en WordPress richt, ligt de focus op de tech-savvy klant die in alle vrijheid aan zijn websites of applicaties sleutelt op een VPS. De PerformanceVPS van TransIP zijn dan ook een van de krachtigste servers op de markt.'
StormPlatform dankt TransIP enorm voor de onvoorwaardelijke steun en support! Zonder TransIP hadden onze interactieve radarmap StormBuster en onze interactieve weermodellenmap StormCaster met ICON-D2~@1K nooit het levenslicht gezien!
Aerava
Aerava (Tempo Quest Inc.)
Even before StormPlatform (SP) started, co-founder and owner Michel Brands from SP had a good contact with Paul Marvelias, a briljant tech- and meteorological developer and vice president from US Company TempoQuest, now called Aerava.ai. Maravelias inspired Brands to start with plans for StormPlatform already back in 2012, which got to an official company back on 23th of march 2015.
The goal of StormPlatform from the start was offering better radar and better weather models for The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg in the first place till that time, offered by our national weather services and big commercial wweather companies in our countries. In the beginning mainly for storm chasers and severe weatherenthousiasts, later also for 'normal people' ;-) StormPlatform is founded by storm chasers from Belgium and The Netherlands, that's why.
In the summer of 2022 SP got asked by TQI what they can do to help with improving our output from regional European weather models like ICON-D2, AROME and HARMONIE, with offering their exclusive product WRF on Demand. This cooperation led to a first version of ICON-D2@1K, a 1 kilometer resolution version of German high resolution weather model ICON-D2 (2.2 K resolution), back in the spring of 2023..
That Ultra High Resolution weather model proved to be a big step forward in detecting local severe weather phenomena like downbursts, severe wind gusts, big hail and even tornadoes, hours before (!) those events happened. With much more detail. Pretty accurate also, to say the least. StormPlatform has been researching this since a tornado-event that happened in the north of France, on the 23th of october 2022.
In the last few years Aerava added to ICON-D2@1K much more parameters, like also HailCAST WRF, particularly focussed on detecting severe weather phenomena like big hail in The Netherlands on the 27th of june. Also the data is easy to achieve now on the (new) website from Aerava, especially for companies professionals and specialists, for whom predicting the weather is critical to protect their interests.
