Forecasting the weather and air quality is a logistical challenge. Numerical simulations are complex, resource-hungry, and sometimes fail without warning. Yet, our clients depend on accurate forecasts delivered daily and on time. At the heart of this operation is Airflow: the orchestration engine that keeps everything running. In this session, we’ll dive into the world behind weather and air quality forecasts. In particular, we’ll explore: The atmospheric modeling pipeline, to understand the unique demands it places on infrastructure How we use Airflow to orchestrate complex simulations reliably and at scale, to inspire new ways of managing time-critical, compute-heavy workflows. Our integration of Airflow with a high-performance computing (HPC) environment using Slurm, to run resource-intensive workloads efficiently in bare metal machines. At Meteosim we are experts on weather and air quality intelligence. With projects in over 80 countries, we support decision-making in industries where weather and air quality matter most: from daily operations to long-term sustainability.
