On Demand Products
Currently we provide two types of on demand products. A zip file containing data relating to a radar sequence and a web page with data download for observations from a particular location and time
Note : There is an additional $40 access fee for each purchase, however this is waived if you are a Pro subscriber. Currently On Demand Radar data is only available to Pro subscribers.
Radar
Prices are for a single radar/station location/range. Discounts are available for high volumes for longer term sets of data
You can download a sample export from the Sydney 256km radar in March 2022 here to see exactly what is included. Note that timestamps on the individual frames are in UTC.
| Radar Products | Up to 1 day | Each additional day |
|---|---|---|
| Data Export - SD (base product) | $50 | $25 |
| Upgrade to HD (coming soon) | +$30 | +$15 |
The minimum cost is for a single day SD Radar datapack for $50. Otherwise for example a 3 day HD radar data pack would cost $50 + $30 + ($25 + $15) x 2 = $160
Observations
Observation products consist of access to a shareable web page with a graph of the data along with a link to download data as CSV for further analysis
Below are some sample outputs :
| Observation Products | Up to 1 day | Each additional day |
|---|---|---|
| Rain gauge | $20 | $10 |
| River heights | $20 | $10 |
| 30 minute AWS | $20 | $10 |
| 10 minute AWS | $20 | $10 |
| 1 minute AWS | $100 | $50 |
For example a week of 15 minute river height observations would cost $10 + $5 x 6 = $40
Observations from all available time consist of a web page based graph/s and includes the option to download the raw observation data.
Rain and river observations include a single date/time and measurement value
AWS observations include temperature, dew point, rain since 9am, interval rainfall, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, visibility and cloud oktas where available. Not all locations report all values all the time.
