Smarter winter maintenance with full awareness of current and future weather conditions for your airport
Wx Horizon uses advanced forecasting models and local sensor data from your airport to provide precise insights into current and upcoming conditions, empowering you to make well-informed decisions for every weather event.
Take action exactly when and where needed
Have maximum situational awareness
Gain full awareness of current conditions across your airport through Vaisala reference grade Weather stations and Xcast sensors that measure a variety of parameters including runway surface temperature, air temperature, dew point, and relative humidity.
Target your treatments with confidence
Ensure you treat exactly when needed by using forecasts driven by local data. The forecasts are generated specifically for your airport runway and taxiways, capturing the nuances that more generic forecasts miss. No wasted chemicals while also ensuring safety at all times.
Never miss any changes in the weather
If weather conditions change or airport conditions are becoming hazardous, you will be notified immediately and can take the appropriate action.
Enhance your forecasts with sensors and stations
Your Wx Horizon subscription unlocks observation-enhanced forecasts for all your sensor locations.
