GeoMet-Weather provides public access to the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) data via interoperable web services and application programming interfaces (API). Through open standards, users can freely and quickly access thousands of real-time and archived weather, climate and water datasets and products and integrate them in their domain-specific applications and decision support systems. Users can build mobile apps, create interactive web maps, and display and animate MSC data in desktop software. MSC GeoMet also enables on demand raw data clipping and reprojection, on demand format conversion and custom visualization.
Wildfire hotspots Cumulative Effects products (2014) (ec-msc:RAQDPS-FW.CE_HOTSPOTS.2014)
Hotspots represent active wildfires. Natural Resources Canada Canadian Wild Fire Information System identifies them by processing Infrared satellite images. This layer contains the hotspots that are selected to be used as input for FireWork to enable forecasting air quality while taking into account wildfire emissions. Geographical coverage is Canada and the United States. The products are presented as historical annual compilation which highlight long-term trends in cumulative effects on the environment.

HDRPA.06P - Average watershed precipitation (preliminary) [mm] (ec-msc:HRDPA.06P_WATERSHED)
The Canadian Precipitation Analysis System (CaPA) produces a best estimate of 6 and 24 hour precipitation amounts. This objective estimate integrates data from in situ precipitation gauge measurements, radar QPEs and a trial field generated by a numerical weather prediction system. In order to produce the High Resolution Deterministic Precipitation Analysis (HRDPA) at a resolution of 2.5 km, CaPA is connected to the continental HRDPS for its trial field. CaPA-HRDPA produces four analyses of 6 hour amounts per day, valid at synoptic hours (00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC) and one 24 hour analysis valid at 12 UTC. A preliminary production is started 1 hour after valid time and a final one is launched 6 hours later. This translates into a production of 10 analyses per day. The domain of the HRDPA is exactly the same as the HRDPS.
Hurricane Forecast Location (ec-msc:HURRICANE_CENTRE)
The Canadian Hurricane Centre provides shapefile format files as part of regular forecast production during the hurricane season. The files will allow users to plot the forecast storm track on a mapping system of their choice. There are four shapefiles (*.shp) that are produced with each 6-hourly forecast bulletin when storms of tropical origin threaten or could threaten Canadian territory.
Dynamic radar coverage (Rain) (1 km) (ec-msc:RADAR_COVERAGE_RRAI)
Composite of American and Canadian weather radars updated every 10 minutes
Hurricane Track Forecast Error (ec-msc:HURRICANE_ERR)
