| Algorithm: | (link1) | The Sager Weathercaster is an instrument based on meteorological science and predicts the weather quickly and accurately. It has been in use since 1942. It allows you to make forecasts of weather, temperature and wind instantly for a radius of about 50 km of your location based on 5000 input variations. |
| Input: | (link2) | The Sager Weathercaster algorithm is provided with input from the private PWS via CMX webtags (wind direction and trend, pressure and trend) and input from a nearby METAR station via Curl (sky cloud cover (pw)). |
