Low-Level Winds and Temperature (Aviation, Premium Layer)

The Low-Level Winds and Temperature layer provides high-resolution weather data between 10 meters and 300 meters above ground level. It includes temperature, wind speed, and wind direction and is designed for aviation operations, UAV routing, and any low-altitude weather-sensitive planning.

🔒 This is a premium feature available as part of the Tomorrow.io Aviation Suite. For access, contact your Tomorrow.io Account Team or sales@tomorrow.io.

Coverage and Altitude Range

Altitude Levels: 11 vertical levels from 10 m to 300 m

Parameters:

•  

  • Temperature

  • Wind Speed

  • Wind Direction

Data Availability:

•  

  • Historical

  • Real-time

  • Forecast

Geographic Coverage: 

• Wind data at 10m, 100m, and 200m is available globally. 

• Full vertical model resolution (up to 300m with all 11 levels) is still optimized for high-density regions, such as the U.S. and Israel.

Where You Can Use This Layer

Platform Features

• Trends Page (for Investigation):
  Analyze weather behavior at specific altitudes over time. This is useful for post-event investigation, takeoff/landing conditions, or validating past anomalies.

• Insights:
  Create custom altitude-based insights and alerts. For example, trigger a notification when wind direction at 100m exceeds 25 knots.

• Altitude Units:
  The altitude slider can be displayed in meters (default) or feet, configurable in Personal Settings.

API Access

Low-level data is available through the Tomorrow.io Weather API, supporting:

• Custom alerting and automation

• Integration with aviation, energy, or drone fleet systems

• Fields for temperature, wind speed, and wind direction by altitude

For details, refer to the API documentation.
