Data, Measurements and Analyses

In addition to providing freely available data through our Data Centre, GeoSphere Austria also conducts in-depth analyses and measurements specifically tailored to your needs in the areas of geophysics, seismology, environment, weather, and climate.

Origin Analysis

Atmospheric dispersion calculations, air chemistry modelling and the analysis of observation data (satellite data, ground-based remote sensing) are used to investigate the cause of an increased pollutant concentration, for example in case a threshold value is exceeded.

Meteorological Measurements

GeoSphere Austria offers meteorological observations to measure local conditions at a site using mobile stations and ground-based remote sensing to record the vertical structure of the atmosphere near the ground.

Geophysical Explorations

Subsurface and structural exploration using various geophysical methods for geological and hydrological issues, raw materials, mass movements, archaeology, cavities, landfills, dams, etc.

Archeo Prospections®

Archeo Prospections® is ideally suited to cover a wide range of investigation methods. The team has access to an extensive range of instrumentation as well as specialised, in-house developed software for geophysical prospection optimised for imaging structures hidden in the ground.

Earthquake Information

GeoSphere Austria offers a query of the earthquake catalogue for a specific earthquake event or a defined period. The results are the time, location and magnitude of the quakes. The impact of an earthquake or earthquakes at any location can also be ordered. The result is the local intensity (EMS-98 scale) and a description of the effects on people, objects and buildings.

Earthquake Registrations

GeoSphere Austria has numerous digital recordings of 'strong earthquakes' in Austria and maintains a comprehensive archive of recordings from the seismographs of the time. Depending on the desired period, we offer digital waveform data, peak values and spectra, time series for special load cases and scans or vectorised historical seismograms.

Seismic Monitoring

GeoSphere Austria offers support in seismic monitoring of structures or infrastructure and offers various services during the planning phase, during the construction of the monitoring network and during ongoing operation. In this way, actual ground movements can be documented, compliance with design values can be guaranteed and interventions can be carried out quickly after a seismic event.

Magnetic Field Measurements

Changes in the Earth´s magnetic field can be determined using magnetometers and geodetic measurements at locations selected by customers.

Declination Map

Map with isogons (lines with the same magnetic declination values), which describe the difference between the orientation of the compass needle and true north.

Internet Weather

Weather forecasts for your website – for your town, for Austria or even the whole world. GeoSphere Austria offers automated weather forecasts based on a weather model for internet-based applications. The product is highly configurable, meaning that the forecasts can be customised to fit your exact requirements.

Expert-Portal

The Expert-Portal offers the ability to automatically analyse measured values of various meteorological parameters on a daily basis by address online. For Austria, the parameters lightning, storm, temperature, precipitation and hail can be analysed. Some of these parameters are also available in the Expert-Portal for Germany and Switzerland.

Climate Risk Analysis

Our climate hazard and risk analyses support companies in identifying and assessing climate-related risks. Based on standardized methods and valid climate data such as ÖKS15, impact chains are developed, and models and expert knowledge are integrated to analyse hazards, vulnerabilities, and exposures - providing a solid foundation for ESG reporting.

Urban Climate

We offer services in the field of urban climate based on measurement data and the modelling of physical processes and interactions in urban areas.

Expertise on Past Weather

What was the weather like yesterday or during another period in the past? Whether expert reports, analyses according to standards or statistical statements on weather events such as storms, thunderstorms or precipitation - we provide reliable information for your individual requirements.
