Network Dataset & Access ​

Reviewed: August 2026

The Network Dataset represents the collective, decentralized output of thousands of certified ground-truth weather stations across more than 85 countries. It includes continuous time-series observations of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind dynamics, precipitation, solar radiation, quality-of-data (QoD) validation scores, and station metadata.

The WeatherXM Network Association oversees the distribution and licensing of this dataset, balancing public research access with structured commercial licensing.

Access Pathways ​

Depending on your use case, the Network Dataset can be accessed through several distinct channels:

                               ┌──► 1. Public Explorer & Mobile Apps (Real-Time Visuals)
                               │
[ Global Network Dataset ] ────┼──► 2. Decentralized Index on IPFS (Open Daily Bundles)
                               │
                               ├──► 3. Academic & Climate Research (Bulk Archives)
                               │
                               └──► 4. Commercial Licensing (Annual Auction Rights)

1. Personal & Public Exploration ​

  • WeatherXM Explorer (explorer.weatherxm.com): A live interactive map displaying all public stations, operational status, cell density, and recent meteorological graphs.
  • WeatherXM Mobile App: Free iOS and Android mobile interfaces for station operators to view real-time and historical measurements from their own stations.

2. Open Decentralized Dataset (IPFS) ​

For open-source developers, data auditors, and decentralized science (DeSci) researchers, the Network publishes daily cryptographic observation bundles:

  • Decentralized Data Index (index.weatherxm.com): Browse and retrieve published daily archive bundles hosted on IPFS and decentralized storage networks.
  • Data Completeness: Bundles include raw station readings, cryptographic attestation proofs, and server-side QoD scores.
  • Usage Terms: Non-commercial evaluation and personal analysis are permitted pursuant to the Terms of Use (PDF).

3. Academic & Research Access ​

The Association is committed to advancing atmospheric science, climate resilience, and meteorological modeling. Accredited academic institutions, university laboratories, and non-profit climate research organizations can request access to bulk historical data archives.

  • Inquiries and academic dataset requests: ga@weatherxm.network

4. Commercial Dataset Licensing ​

Any commercial use of the aggregated Network Dataset — including commercial forecasting, proprietary algorithmic trading, parametric insurance settlement, or enterprise API resale — requires an active commercial license granted by the WeatherXM Network Association.

Commercial licenses are awarded through an annual competitive auction process conducted by the Association.
