Alterra develops a variety of models, for example, to test the suitability of a habitat for flora or fauna or with which to make harvest forecasts on the basis of metrological and climate data.

The quality of the models is ensured through a process of continuous improvements and a demonstrable product quality. For product quality, objective and verifiable criteria are developed.

  • Operational. These models and data files may be used in all projects and assignments. Their quality is guaranteed through a process of continuous improvements and through product certification.
  • Experimental. These models and data files may be used only in the project for which it was developed. The quality is not guaranteed and can vary from high to low.
