Mr. Wai-Pang Sze, ClusterTech’s meteorological expert, presented the weather prediction solution to the guests
In the pitching session, ClusterTech's meteorological expert demonstrated the high resolution numerical weather prediction solution and how it can benefit shipping and logistics. ClusterTech’s High Resolution Numerical Weather Prediction Solution for Shipping and Logistics utilises the unique and latest weather prediction model CPAS. CPAS is a cloud-based service platform that implements customised mesh generation and hierarchical time-stepping on Model for Prediction Across Scales - Atmosphere (MPAS-A (v6.1)) to better serve the computational needs of numerical atmospheric model users. The model can provide higher resolution and more accurate data for routes with specific risks, helping shipping companies save costs and avoid casualty loss.
