Where Can I Get Weather Data for STK?

Weather is useful for modeling many things in STK. Therefore, STK's Aviator capability uses NOAA wind services for route planning. See Wind and Atmosphere Modeling in the STK Help for more information.

Also, there are several sources available to visualize data via KML, WMS, or other geospatial standards to which STK complies:

• Iowa Environmental Mesonet  (this source requires the WMS Plugin on the STK Install)
• Realtime WDSS-II Weather Data  
• National Weather Service Southern Region Headquarters
• National Weather Service Radar   
• KLM Data for Google Earth
• ArcGIS.com (has a ton of weather-related products) 
• Nowcoast: NOAA's Realtime Weather Data

Note: Some of these files may take a few minutes to initially load.

Important: For the Weather Channel KMZ, do not click Conditions and Forecasts! It opens the current temperature for every city in the Weather Channel database and bogs down STK for a long time.
