Two ways to receive the data

The 2021 data format needs 10 TB of storage, so the data is delivered on a hard drive.

Send us your drive

Ship an internal or external hard drive with at least 10 TB of space to our office. We'll copy the data onto it and send it back.

We supply the drive

We'll buy an external 10 TB hard drive, pre-load it with the Alberta meteorological data and ship it to you.
