Weather Data
Weather data is the lifeblood of the weather market. For structuring
and pricing weather derivatives and for tracking positions during a
season, traders, end-users, and portfolio risk managers require:
 |
Historical records of daily observations,
typically for at least 30 years |
|
Ongoing daily feeds of prior-day measurements
|
|
Short to medium range forecasts of daily weather
conditions |

sold or licensed separately. MDA can also source a wide
variety of data for other less commonly-traded stations to assist
clients who have specific data needs.
One critical issue with all weather data is quality and reliability.

algorithms and procedures for processing data to ensure maximum quality
and reliability for weather trading applications. More than 70% of
