The WIWB Import connects to the Hydronet WIWB API and has support for downloading observations and forecasts for both scalar and grid data. WIWB has a concept of DataSources which have to be configured as a property of the import. Using the meta data api of  the WIWB API the type of data is determined and processed accordingly.

 

Info
titleMore about WIWB

WIWB is the Dutch national database for storage and dissemination of weather related data, specifically for the Dutch water sector. It has been developed in 2017 by HydroLogic, HKV and HydroConsult for Het Waterschapshuis, a national body that represents all Dutch water boards. The WIWB database is based on the HydroNET platform (www.hydronet.com) and offers a REST API for retrieving data and metadata. WIWB contains weather observations and forecasts, based on weather stations, meteorological radar data and numerical weather models.

WIWB is intended for professional use only by Dutch water boards. It is not intended for public or commercial use. Only officials from Dutch water boards can request access to the WIWB API. More information on specifications and use of the WIWB API can be requested from the WWIB helpdesk (helpdeks@hydrologic.com).
