Elemental Weather 1.92

Elemental Weather is a cloud-based service and mobile application that offers a comprehensive suite of weather data suitable for integration into web and mobile platforms supporting engaged user communities.

The platform provides a broad range of meteorological metrics, including temperature, rainfall, wind speed and gusts, snow accumulation, perceived temperature, humidity, and air pressure. Historical weather records are accessible at hourly and daily intervals, while forecasts are available for hourly, daily, and 12-hour (day/night) periods.

Beyond current, forecasted, and historical data, the Elemental Weather API supplies hourly observations from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), utilizing data from the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoys and the Coastal Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) stations. These stations monitor wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, sea surface temperature, wave height and period, with some stations measuring conductivity and water currents. Additional data originates from offshore oil rigs and marine vessels participating in government reporting programs.

The application also integrates near real-time hydrological data provided by the US Geological Survey’s (USGS) Groundwater and Streamflow Information Program. This component supports the collection and dissemination of streamflow and water-level data from approximately 8,500 sites, along with water levels from over 1,700 additional locations.

Potential users include marine fishery managers across federal, state, and local agencies; environmental and conservation organizations; academic institutions; recreational anglers; and outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable weather intelligence.
