DevelopmentSARWeather is a joint research project led by IMR/Belgingur, in collaboration with NOAA/ESRL, the University of Bergen, the University of the Faroe Islands, and the private companies IO and Sjá. To ensure maximum usability for SAR operators, SARWeather has been developed in close collaboration with ICE-SAR and the Civil Protection Department of the Icelandic Police.
SARWeather is funded in part by grant number 550-025 (Vejrtjeneste for Søberedskab) from NORA and by the European Commission under the 7th Community Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (GalileoCast). GalileoCast is managed by GSA, the European GNSS Supervisory Authority.

2007: Idea emerges2007: Flight of the SUMO2007-2008: Lobbyism,
applications, etc. etc.
2009: Cash starts flowing
2009-2010: Code like the wind
May 2010: GDACS annual meeting
Spring 2010: USAR conference in Abu Dhabi
January 2010: Haiti
Spring/summer 2010: Eruption in Mt. Eyjafjallajökull
SARWeather
Importance of high resolution
Global forecasts15-50 km grid
Belgingur forecasts27-9-3 km grid
SARWeather
Importance of high resolutionSnæfellsnes at 9km resolution. Max height 300m
And at 1km resolution. Max height 1260 m

Importance of high resolution
SARWeather
Why not always use 1km resolution?

Need 1000-times more CPU power to simulate a 1 km resolution forecast than a 10 km one for the same region!
Modifications done to the original SUMO plane
Data transmitted to data base
New microcomputer (Gumstix)
3G/GSM modem All weather sensors moved
from the original (Tiny2) microcomputer to the new one
Opens up for two additional sensors to be connected to the Tiny2 (e.g. gyros for improved handling)
