摘要
CloudCast provides personalized short-term weather forecasts to clients based on their current location using cloud services, generating accurate forecasts tens of minutes in the future for small areas. Results show that it takes less than two minutes from the start of data sampling to deliver a 15-minute forecast to a client.
