Our technology
At the core of Whiffle’s innovation lies our breakthrough weather modelling technology. With a passion for precision and a commitment to pushing boundaries, we’ve developed a weather model that solves the complexities of the weather and harnesses weather intelligence to your advantage.
Whiffle LES model
The Whiffle Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model resolves atmospheric flow at meter scale, directly from the laws of physics. By explicitly simulating turbulence, wakes, and blockage, it captures the full complexity of wind behaviour around turbines and terrain. Coupled to large-scale weather data and powered by GPUs, the LES delivers fast, high-fidelity insights for forecasting, yield modelling, and site design. While optimised for wind applications, Atmospheric LES isn’t limited to wind — it also produces detailed simulations for other weather variables, including solar irradiance and dispersion modelling.
Whiffle Meso Model
The Whiffle Meso Model bridges the gap between global reanalysis and high-resolution LES. Built on the same physical foundations, it simulates mesoscale phenomena such as sea breezes, mountain–valley winds, and frontal systems at 2 km resolution — capturing the regional dynamics that drive local wind behaviour. This ensures realistic boundary conditions for LES runs and provides a robust, physics-based basis for long-term wind and climate studies.
