Tomorrow.io’s Post

Groundbreaking news from Tomorrow.io! 🚨 📡 🛰️ Tomorrow.io, the world's leading Resilience Platform™, today announced the successful launch of its first two microwave sounder satellites. This milestone marks a significant advancement for Tomorrow.io in transforming global weather forecasting, early warning systems, and climate resilience. These sounder-equipped satellites mark the next phase in Tomorrow.io's expanding constellation, aiming to provide unprecedented sub-hourly global atmospheric measurements of temperature, humidity, precipitation, and tropical cyclones—a first for the commercial sector. "With our microwave sounders, we can set a new standard in atmospheric data collection and prediction," said Rei Goffer, Co-Founder, and Chief Strategy Officer of Tomorrow.io, "This technology allows us to capture atmospheric data with exceptional accuracy, especially over oceans and remote areas where traditional observations are scarce.” The launch of these satellites comes at a crucial time in the advancement of AI technology. Tomorrow.io's expanding constellation of weather satellites is creating a critical missing link: high-resolution, global data for training and initializing AI models with real-time observations. This data will not only enhance the accuracy of Tomorrow.io's own models but also has the potential to significantly advance the field of weather prediction and climate modeling. This advancement builds upon Tomorrow.io's groundbreaking Pathfinder radar satellites (https://lnkd.in/gTJDzK9A) which launched in 2023 and have demonstrated performance that matches or exceeds NOAA's NEXRAD benchmark for rainfall measurement. (https://lnkd.in/g3PbyUi6) The addition of microwave sounders further expands the company's observational capabilities, with early data showing promising insights. The satellites are now undergoing initial commissioning, with preliminary datasets expected in the coming weeks. Tomorrow.io's sounder technology is derived from NASA’s TROPICS mission, and the company is concurrently set to rebuild NOAA’s digital infrastructure through the Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) program. The company will continue expanding its constellation, advancing its Resilience Platform™ to address the growing challenges posed by extreme weather and climate change.

We’re proud to announce another major milestone: Our first two microwave sounders have successfully delivered high-quality data, marking a critical step forward in global atmospheric monitoring. 🌍 ⭐️ With our growing satellite constellation—now including 2 precipitation radars and 2 microwave sounders—we’re pushing the boundaries of weather forecasting and nowcasting. This achievement brings us closer to our goal of sub-hourly revisit rates, low-latency data, and global coverage that improves forecasting accuracy. 🌩️ Our data quality compares to government satellite instruments at a fraction of the cost, allowing us to train the most accurate AI models for predictive insights. This is especially important for regions like Northern Europe, Asia, and Africa, where advanced weather tech is needed most. “NASA’s TROPICS satellites have been a game-changer, particularly for tropical regions. However, with Tomorrow.io's constellation, we’re introducing advancements in data refresh rates, low latency, and global coverage,” said Rei Goffer, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Tomorrow.io. “We’ve demonstrated that our satellites are producing exceptionally high-quality data, and have set the stage for the future of weather forecasting.” And we’re not stopping here! Over the next two years, more satellites are coming to further enhance global weather intelligence, enabling faster disaster preparedness and proactive early warning systems. This is on the tail of NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration awarding Tomorrow.io a contract to purchase Microwave Sounder (MWS) data to support the new Commercial Weather Data Pilot (CWDP) studies. In these studies, NOAA will assess the quality, characteristics, and impacts of available commercial MWS observations collected from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) platforms.

Exciting news: Tomorrow.io is partnering with the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) and the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-Hazards Department (VMGD) to modernize weather forecasting and early warning systems in Vanuatu. Located in a cyclone-prone region of the South Pacific, Vanuatu faces increasing threats from climate change, including more severe cyclones, floods, and droughts. Our cutting-edge AI and space-based technologies will enhance the country's ability to predict and respond to extreme weather events, paving the way for improved climate resilience across the Pacific islands. 🌏 Thanks to Sebastien Boulay, Ann Marie Yastishock, Enoh T. Ebong, and many more who made this project happen! Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dAdzbFYv #WeatherTech #ClimateResilience #DisasterPreparedness #WeatherReadyPacific

Extreme weather is more top of mind than ever before, with Hurricane Helene leaving devastation via historic flooding. At Tomorrow.io, we’re constantly updating our Resilience Platform™ to keep organizations resilient to this increasing volatility. Today, we’re excited to announce a brand-new set of enhancements to do just that, including an updated flood index. This enhancement doubles the resolution of our flood risk assessments, providing unprecedented precision in predicting and monitoring flood risks. With this improvement, organizations can better anticipate, prepare for, and respond to flooding events, whether from hurricanes or other severe weather phenomena. And that’s not all. Our latest update includes: 🌨️ Expanded Hail Layer: Improved severe weather preparedness with detailed hail forecasts 🔎 Enhanced Investigation Tools: Dive deeper into weather parameters for more informed decision-making 🔔 Smarter Alerts: Less noise, more actionable insights to keep you focused on what matters 🌐 Private Stations API: Integrate your local data for hyper-local forecasts 🖥️ Enhanced Usability: Streamlined interface for faster, more efficient weather-based decisions Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dj5XY7Yv #WeatherIntelligence #OperationalResilience #Tomorrowio #Weathertech

As storms like Hurricane Helene become more frequent and volatile, traditional weather sources alone aren't enough. The attached animation shows real-time precipitation data from the MRMS network (left) with Tomorrow.io’s Unified Precipitation (UP) product (right) during Hurricane Helene. Notably, UP captures the storm's full extent and lifecycle, including areas beyond radar range. How? Our UP product combines radar, geostationary satellite, and microwave sounder data using advanced machine learning techniques to generate continuous global precipitation estimates, even in regions without traditional radar coverage. 🌍 This capability is crucial for: - Improved nowcasting and short-term forecasts - More accurate flood predictions - Enhanced tropical storm tracking - Bolstering climate adaptation efforts globally 👉 Learn more about how we differentiate in hurricane forecasting: https://lnkd.in/gpXFnwJq #Resilience #ClimateTech #PrecipitationMonitoring
