European Radar Data and the Challenge of Quality Control
We’re now processing the EUMETNET OPERA composite, making pan-European radar reflectivity available alongside the North American radar products we already offer. But combining radar data from more than 30 countries and over 160 radars comes with some unique challenges. In this post, we look at what those challenges look like, how they compare with MRMS, and how we’re working with the data in Boxer and Terrier.
European Weather Radar Now Available
We’ve begun testing a new European weather radar composite to expand our international data offerings. While the data is reliable, quality control presents some interesting challenges compared to the U.S. MRMS mosaic. Here’s what we’ve learned so far, and where we may take it next.
The Truth About AI-Generated Code Isn’t What You Think
During the summer of 2026, three meteorology students used AI to build weather applications for storm chasing, fishing, and aviation. Their experience revealed an important lesson: AI-generated code can accelerate software development, but domain expertise is still essential for validating results, solving complex problems, and building tools people can trust.

Better Observations Through Proper Weather Station Siting
A weather station is only as accurate as the location where it’s installed. Learn why weather station siting matters, how the WMO defines proper siting standards, and how placement affects temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity, and solar radiation measurements that support everything from weather forecasting to aviation and utilities.

Student-Built AI Weather Applications in Action
This summer, three student interns transformed ideas into AI weather applications using Wet Dog Weather data. From a storm chasing dashboard to a fishing weather app and an aviation weather platform, each project demonstrates how AI, software development, and meteorology can come together to solve real-world problems. Watch their final presentations and learn what they built, what they learned, and where they hope to take their projects next.

Have a project in mind?
We are a Software as a Service company, and we charge accordingly. Our customers rent their own Boxer stack and gain access to our Terrier front-end libraries. We process a variety of standard data sets, which is…. standard. But we also process custom data you may buy or generate yourself. That’s where things get interesting
