Abstract

Data integration and distribution systems. A system includes a graphical user interface (GUI). Weather and market data are collected. A weather symbology including symbol elements linked to segments of the collected weather data and rules for generating weather symbology instructions are stored. The GUI is generated for display on a user device. A weather symbology instruction is determined based on at least one requested symbol element indicated in a weather data request and the rules. A weather forecast dataset is created from among the collected weather data based on the weather symbology instruction. A presentation package comprising the weather forecast dataset and the collected market data is generated such that the weather forecast dataset is integrated with the collected market data. The presentation package is presented on the GUI and updated concurrent with changes at least one of the weather data, the market data and user input.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method, the method comprising:
providing a data distribution system in communication with one or more weather data source systems, one or more market data source systems and at least one user device via at least one network, the data distribution system comprising a processing device and a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
collecting, by the data distribution system, weather data from among the one or more weather data source systems;
generating, by the data distribution system, at least one weather forecast dataset from among the collected weather data;
collecting, by the data distribution system, financial market data from among the one or more market data source systems;
integrating, by the data distribution system, the at least one weather forecast dataset and a portion of the collected financial market data in a manner indicating a correlation between the at least one weather forecast dataset and the portion of the collected financial market data;
generating, by the data distribution system, an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for display on the at least one user device;
displaying, via the interactive GUI, a presentation package that includes the at least one weather forecast dataset integrated with said portion of the collected financial market data, the presentation package indicating the correlation between the at least one weather forecast dataset and the portion of the collected financial market data; and
updating the presentation package on the interactive GUI concurrent with changes to one or more of the weather data, the financial market data and user input received via the at least one user device.

2. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
storing, in at least one database accessible by the data distribution system, a weather symbology comprising one or more symbol elements linked to segments of the collected weather data and one or more pre-defined rules for generating weather symbology instructions having a pre-defined instruction structure.

3. The method of claim 2 , the method further comprising:
receiving, via the interactive GUI, input comprising a weather data request from the at least one user device, and determining, by the data distribution system, a weather symbology instruction based on at least one requested symbol element indicated in the received weather data request and in accordance with the one or more pre-defined rules.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the generating of the at least one weather forecast dataset is based, at least in part, on the weather symbology instruction.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the weather symbology further includes one or more weather variables comprising at least one of predetermined fields and predetermined conditions, the weather symbology instruction further determined based on at least one requested weather variable among the one or more weather variables received in the weather data request.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the weather symbology instruction is included in the weather data request or the weather data request is converted to the weather symbology instruction.

7. The method of claim 3 , the method further comprising:
extracting, by the data distribution system, at least one segment among the segments of the collected weather data corresponding to the at least one requested symbol element in the weather symbology instruction.

8. The method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one weather forecast dataset includes at least one weather forecast stitched together from among the collected weather data in accordance with the weather symbology instruction.

9. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more symbol elements are associated with one or more of at least one weather forecast model, at least one weather observation location and at least one predetermined weather workflow structure.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one predetermined weather workflow structure includes one or more of at least one weather alpha, a guidance perspective, a progression perspective and an accuracy perspective.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the interactive GUI includes at least one wizard window for user-customization of the at least one predetermined weather workflow structure.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the collected weather data includes weather observation data and weather forecast model data.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the weather observation data includes at least one of Meteorological Aerodrome Report (METAR) data and Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFS-R) data.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the weather forecast model data is associated with at least one of a Global Forecast System (GFS), a GFS ensemble (GFS ENS), a GFS ensemble Extension (GFS ENS EXT), a Climate Forecast System (CFS) ensemble, a European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF), a ECMWF ensemble (ECMWF ENS), a ECMWF ensemble Extension (EXCMWF ENS EXT), a ECMWF Seasonal (SEAS) and a ECMWF Seasonal Extension (SEAS EXT).

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the collected weather data and the collected financial market data includes at least one of streaming data and static data.

16. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
displaying, via the interactive GUI, at least one weather map generated from among the collected weather data.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating of the at least one weather forecast dataset further comprises generating the at least one weather forecast dataset as a function of an exchange time associated with the collected financial market data.

18. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
exposing, by the data distribution system, the presentation package to at least one application programming interface (API).

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interactive GUI is configured to operate on at least one of a trading desktop, a mobile application and a spreadsheet application.

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the weather data comprises one or more weather data streams received via at least one data feed, and wherein the financial market data comprises one or more financial market data streams received via the at least one data feed, the method further comprising:
segmenting, by the data distribution system, the received one or more weather data streams based on one or more pre-defined symbol elements to form at least one segmented weather data stream;
extracting by the data distribution system, one or more segments of the at least one segmented weather data stream to form at least one extracted weather stream;
generating, by the data distribution system, a real-time weather dataset from the at least one extracted weather stream;
integrating, by the data distribution system, the real-time weather forecast dataset with the received one or more financial market data streams to form part of an integrated presentation package;
at least one of: exposing, by the data distribution system, the integrated presentation package to at least one application programming interface (API) and displaying the integrated presentation package via the interactive GUI on a display of the at least one user device; and
updating the integrated presentation package concurrent with changes to one or more of the one or more weather data streams and the one or more financial market data streams,
wherein the integrated presentation package further includes an interactive presentation of one or more
