Abstract :
Recent improvements in the field of meteorological forecasting now allow for a fine-granular and localized prediction of meteorological parameters, thus opening up new opportunities for situation-based and mobile meteorological services. In this paper, techniques for the fine-granular prediction of local weather conditions are presented, together with an overview of already existing and prospective situation-based meteorological services. Current challenges in service generation are discussed and a platform is proposed that supports flexible and adaptive composition of situation-based meteorological services.
