The Institute for Ubiquitous Meteorology (UBIMET) is a worldwide private service provider of weather forecasts and severe weather warnings. ==Company History== UBIMET was established in Vienna, Austria by Dr. Michael Fassnauer and Manfred Spatzierer in September 2004 under the name Meteomedia GmbH. UBIMET started with providing weather services to institutions such as the German Press Agency, ÖBB,〔() http://www.railwaypro.com/wp/?p=11006 Oebb〕 and UNIQA insurance. UBIMET went on to build the Austrian Severe Weather Center to forecast extreme weather events. In December 2008, the shares of the Meteomedia Group were bought back by the company's founders and the name was changed to UBIMET GmbH. Today, organizations from the insurance industry, media (Der Standard, Kronen Zeitung), sports (FIA, Moto GP, RedBull, Australian Olympic Sailing Team,〔() http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Bruce-Buckley/128381812 The Australian Olympic Sailing Team's meteorologist, Dr Bruce Buckley〕 2013 European Beach Volleyball Championships), infrastructure (ÖBB, Deutsche Bahn), energy (e.on), mining (Austmine〔() http://www.austmine.com.au/Directory/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2135/UBIMET Austmine〕), and logistics (STRABAG) use UBIMET’s corporate services. In 2011, an office was opened in Melbourne, Australia with a full scale operation including meteorologists, and business development resources, as well as marketing and infrastructure. In 2012, UBIMET provided the weather data for the Red Bull Stratos space diving project during which Felix Baumgartner successfully ascended to 128,100 feet in a stratospheric balloon and free-fell at supersonic speeds before parachuting to the ground. In the same year, Red Bull became a company shareholder. UBIMET now provides the weather data for many of Red Bull’s global sporting events (e.g. Wings For Life World Run 2014 and 2015). Since 2014, UBIMET has had a contract with FIA to provide weather forecasts for all Formula One Grand Prix races.〔() http://medianet.com.au/releases/release-details?id=797470 Formula 1〕 Notably important were the forecasts for the Formula One race on October 5, 2014 in Suzuka, when Typhoon Phanfone approached the Japanese city.〔() http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/formula1/29455024 Japanese Grand Prix: Organizers wait on Typhoon Phanfone arrival〕 UBIMET also provided meteorological data for the 2013 and 2014 Tissot Australian motorcycle Grand Prix.〔() http://www.motogp.com.au/ubimet MotoGP Australia〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ubimet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
