Abstract: Currently available weather forecasts, which include a specific snowfall accumulation or range, do not convey the probability that snowfall will be within the forecasted snowfall accumulation range, probabilities of other snowfall accumulation amounts, or a forecaster's level of confidence. A snowfall probability distribution forecasting system is disclosed that uses a rules-based process to leverage third party weather forecasts, including members of ensemble forecasts, to generate snowfall probability distributions forecasting the most likely snowfall accumulation range, the probability that snowfall accumulation will be within the most likely snowfall accumulation range, and probabilities that snowfall accumulation will be outside of the most likely snowfall accumulation range. To ensure consistency with the deterministic forecast, the snowfall probability distribution may be shifted based on a deterministic forecast.

Abstract: A tropical cyclone analytics system that stores a plurality of ranges for each of a plurality of weather conditions, identifies a forecasted tropical cyclone, identifies a predicted path of the forecasted tropical cyclone, identifies each country or region along the predicted path of the forecasted tropical cyclone, and, for each country or region along the predicted path of the forecasted tropical cyclone, identifies forecasted weather conditions in the country or region attributable to the forecasted tropical cyclone, compares the forecasted weather conditions in the country or region to the plurality of ranges for each of the plurality of weather conditions, characterizes the forecasted tropical cyclone in the country or region based on the comparison of the forecasted weather conditions in the country or region to the plurality of ranges, and outputs the characterization for display to a user.

Abstract: An interactive telematics system that identifies one or more optimum routes for a user by identifying a plurality of potential routes from a departure location to a destination, calculating attributes of each of the potential routes, comparing the attributes of each of the potential routes to user preferences in a user profile associated with the user, identifying one or more optimized routes for the user by selecting one or more of the potential routes based on the comparison of the attributes of each of the potential routes to the user preferences associated with the user, and outputting the one or more optimized routes to a communications network for transmittal to a remote device associated with the user.

Abstract: A weather-based industry analysis system that determines one or more correlations between historical industry performance data and historical meteorological data, determines one or more predicted weather conditions, generates an industry forecast based on the one or more predicted weather conditions and the correlation between the historical industry performance data and the predicted weather conditions, and outputs the industry forecast for transmittal to a remote computer system.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for facilitating coordination of care. A method of transmitting care coordination data to a healthcare provider associated with a patient based, at least in part, on a proximity of the patient to a healthcare facility may involve determining, with at least one processor, whether the proximity of the patient to the healthcare facility satisfies a criterion. The method may further involve transmitting the care coordination data to the healthcare provider associated with the patient after it is determined that the proximity of the patient to the healthcare facility satisfies the criterion.
