Frequently Asked Questions
We pull in data from various global weather forecasting models, and combine the forecasts in optimal ways (the “G2”) to maximize forecast accuracy at both hourly and daily time scales. Further, our new probabilistic data stream allows users to quantify their weather risk. The AG2 Trader interface provides a visually appealing, user-friendly way to ingest and use all of this added-value weather data.
Our largest presence is in the gas and power markets, as we serve around 95% of power traders and 85% of gas traders. We have an increasing presence in ag and insurance/reinsurance markets as well, as the impacts of climate change on businesses drive a more urgent need for accurate forecasts and comprehensive historical data.
The AG2 Trader platform is updated on an hourly basis, providing users with the most up-to-date weather data available. This allows users to make informed decisions about their energy commodity trades, based on the latest weather conditions.
You can log directly on to the site immediately after signing up for a trial, and it generally takes new users a couple of days to become fully-acclimated to all that the platform has to offer. We encourage a quick training call with our sales staff and/or one of our meteorologists to accelerate the process.
All of the products on the Trader site are also available to pull via simple, URL-based API calls, all of which are described in our comprehensive documentation, which also provides specific examples to help you get started.
AG2 scientists and engineers are constantly working to improve and innovate, via new products such as FRisk, or via continuous improvement of our forecast accuracy leveraging our data science department.
