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 including 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 to at least one of the weather data, the market data and user input.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A system comprising:
one or more weather data source systems; one or more market data source systems; at least one user device; and a data distribution system in communication with the one or more weather data source systems, the one or more market data source systems and the 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, the data distribution system configured to: receive real-time weather data from among the one or more weather data source systems, the real-time weather data comprising a plurality of formats; reformat the real-time weather data to generate a weather forecast dataset having a singular format, wherein the reformat comprises segmenting the real-time weather data into a plurality of weather data segments to form a time series dataset configured to be processed by a time series server, each weather data segment of the plurality of weather data segments comprising a respective exchange time; receive real-time financial market data from among the one or more market data source systems, the real-time financial market data associated with one or more exchange times and configured to be processed by the time series server; integrate, by the time series server, the weather forecast dataset and a portion of the real-time financial market data in a manner indicating a correlation between the weather forecast dataset and the portion of the real-time financial market data by matching each respective exchange time of the plurality of weather data segments and the one or more exchange times of the portion of the real-time financial market data; generate an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for display on the at least one user device; display, via the interactive GUI, a presentation package that includes the weather forecast dataset integrated with the portion of the real-time financial market data, the presentation package indicating the correlation between the weather forecast dataset and the portion of the real-time financial market data; and automatically update the presentation package on the interactive GUI in real-time concurrent with changes to the real-time weather data and the real-time financial market data and user input received via the at least one user device, wherein the presentation package includes at least one of streaming data and static data.

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

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the real-time weather data comprises weather observation data and weather forecast model data.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interactive GUI is further configured to display at least one weather map generated from among the real-time weather data.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data distribution system is further configured to expose the presentation package to at least one application programming interface (API).

6 . The system 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.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the real-time weather data comprises one or more weather data streams received via at least one data feed, and wherein the real-time financial market data comprises one or more financial market data streams received via the at least one data feed, the data distribution system further configured to:
segment 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; extract one or more segments of the at least one segmented weather data stream to form at least one extracted weather stream; generate a real-time weather dataset from the at least one extracted weather stream; integrate the real-time weather dataset with the received one or more financial market data streams to form part of an integrated presentation package; at least one of: expose the integrated presentation package to at least one application programming interface (API) and display the integrated presentation package via the interactive GUI on a display of the at least one user device; and update 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 of at least one weather forecast map, at least one weather alpha region indicating a combination of weather forecast data and financial market data, at least one weather perspective chart associated with a predetermined weather perspective workflow, at least one model status region, at least one watchlist region, at least one alerts region, at least one chart, at least one table, at least one weather grid, at least one analytic value and at least one user input window for customizing the interactive presentation.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the presentation package further includes an interactive presentation of one or more of at least one weather forecast map, at least one weather alpha region indicating a combination of weather forecast data and the real-time financial market data, at least one weather perspective chart associated with a predetermined weather perspective workflow, at least one model status region, at least one watchlist region, at least one alerts region, at least one chart, at least one table, at least one weather grid, at least one analytic value and at least one user input window for customizing the interactive presentation.

9 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the data distribution system is further configured to:
receive, via the interactive GUI, input comprising a weather data request from the at least one user device, and determine 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.

10 . The system 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.

11 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the weather observation data includes at least one of Meteorological Aerodrome Report (METAR) data and Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFS-R) data.

12 . The system of claim 3 , 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).

13 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the data distribution system is further configured to create the real-time weather dataset in accordance with a weather symbology instruction.

14 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the integrated presentation package is configured to be launched in at least one of a trading desktop, a mobile
