MOS Parameters
The Meteomatics API provides Model Output Statistics (MOS) forecasts for many weather stations around the globe. For more information about MOS and a detailed description on how to query MOS forecasts, please see: Querying MOS data
Currently MOS forecasts are computed for a lead time of 15 days with a temporal resolution of 1 hour for the following parameters (if the parameters are recorded at the selected station):
