Fahrenheit Research

Fahrenheit Research is an open-source software publisher focused on meteorological tools, distributing its catalog of thirteen packages through its GitHub organization. The product range centers on weather radar, numerical weather prediction, and atmospheric data processing, with a strong emphasis on high-performance implementations written in Rust and GPU-accelerated code. Radar visualization is a core category: BowEcho, NexView, RustDar, and Radar RS Analyst all provide NEXRAD Level II radar viewing with live storm-scale data, while Cursdar2 extends this into a full CUDA-native workstation offering live ingest, national mosaics, three-dimensional volumes, archive playback, and warning overlays. In the modeling domain, ArWen delivers a GPU-native regional weather model verified against WRF v4.6.1, SimSat Studio generates physically based simulated satellite imagery from WRF output, and SHARPpy-Reimagined-vRust offers a Rust-accelerated sounding analysis workstation with a Qt6 interface. Supporting infrastructure includes HRRR-Render, a fast Rust command-line renderer for HRRR weather maps; RustMaps, an offline vector map tile renderer designed as a background layer for radar applications; and Rusty Weather, a weather model viewer. Data distribution and alerting needs are addressed by NWWS-RS, a self-hosted NOAA Weather Wire Service platform with a parser, ingest daemon, HTTP API, and server-sent events, and by FFW-BOT, a Discord bot that pushes Fire Weather Warning notifications. Typical use cases span operational storm monitoring, research meteorology, emergency management awareness, and hobbyist weather analysis, where users benefit from small native downloads, GPU computation, and permissively licensed source code that can be self-hosted and integrated into custom forecasting pipelines.
