Overview

It is often said that 80% of data analysis is spent on the process of cleaning and preparing the data. - Hadley Wickham, Chief Scientist at RStudio

Why Oikolab?

Data scientists or analysts often spend days or weeks looking for and processing historical weather data before they can begin their analysis. Here’s where Oikolab comes in – we do the work, so you don’t have to. We save you the most valuable, scarce, and non-renewable resource in the world – your time.

We provide post-processed datasets from national weather agencies such as NCEP/NOAA, ECMWF, and Environment Canada. These data are often publicly available, but come in a format (GRIB) that is very time consuming to download and use.
