Quaderni di meteorologia aperta®

Open and accessible weather data for everyone

Open weather

Climate change, destined to profoundly impact everyone’s life, plays a central role in shaping the qualitative framework of society. In this context, Radarmeteo embraces a vision of open meteorology, interpreting the term as Karl Popper defined it: openness as transparency, sharing, and dialogue.

Meteorological data should be open and free, accessible to everyone: the cultural, economic, and research sectors, as well as citizens. Public meteorological services are also expected to perform effective monitoring, ensuring efficiency, maintenance, updates, and network quality.

These systems are considered to belong to all citizens, who contribute with diverse skills and perspectives to enhance their value.

Quaderni di Meteorologia Aperta® were created to welcome technical and experiential contributions, not necessarily scientific, from those who share these principles. They also aim to include voices beyond meteorology, to listen, understand, engage, and expand opportunities for interaction.

Quaderno di Meteorologia Aperta® n° 1 “Characteristics and representativeness of precision meteorology in the Italian national context”

All our models, constructions, and analyses are fundamentally based on observational data.
But do we truly understand these data? How reliable are they? Where do they come from?
This is a crucial issue, which the text addresses in a highly pragmatic way, grounded in the Italian context.

Quaderno di Meteorologia Aperta® n° 3 “MeteoCert®. Design, enhancement, compliance and certification of on-site meteorological and climatological monitoring stations and networks”

All operational applications, subsequent processing, and historical analyses require high-quality data, which can only be ensured if collected through high-quality monitoring systems. This provides valuable support for institutions, companies, and organizations planning to invest in physical atmospheric monitoring, as well as for enthusiasts approaching this field.

Quaderno di Meteorologia Aperta® n° 4 “The climate emergency in the digital age. Climate, economy and society”

The climate emergency concerns humanity and requires concrete actions to accelerate decarbonization. Responsibility lies with governments and central banks, capable of guiding the industrial transition toward more sustainable technologies. Digital meteorology can support this process at macroeconomic, policy, and operational levels, while Italy urgently needs a national meteorological service and a comprehensive overview of its climate situation.

Quaderno di Meteorologia Aperta® n° 5 “On the use of weather-climate data in index-based application context. Experiences, conventional and communicative aspects“

The text explains the methods for acquiring, processing, and using meteorological and climate data for risk management, highlighting discrepancies reported by insurers, assessors, and regulatory bodies. It proposes solutions to ensure clarity and consistency of data, such as the HYPER-GRID ID® system, and addresses key topics including territorial aggregation and unified datasets, which are essential to maximize the representativeness of data across different operational contexts.
