ABOUT CLIMAVISION
VISION, PARTNERSHIP, EXPERTISE
Innovation isn’t just a part of our business. It is our business.
REVOLUTIONIZING WEATHER FORECASTING TO SOLVE TODAY’S BIGGEST PROBLEMS
When we first imagined new ways to approach weather forecasting, we started with a lot of “what ifs?” and, thanks to the brightest minds in the business, quickly moved to “why not?” Climavision’s team of talented engineers, data scientists, meteorologists, and climate enthusiasts built on the successes of their predecessors and developed revolutionary new approaches that will propel weather forecasting into the future. We went to the root of the problem – gaps in observations – and took on the challenge ourselves. We’ve married new observations with our blend of advanced science, data, and technology to make the greatest leaps in forecast accuracy in over 50 years.
WHO WE ARE
Experts Reimagining The Weather Industry
We lived the problem, we worked the problem, and now we’ve solved the problem. We’ve gathered expertise, passion, and the absolute best minds – everything needed to fundamentally change climate technology.
UNRIVALED INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE
We have assembled the industry’s most seasoned team of scientists, meteorologists, cutting edge technologists, and climate enthusiasts with decades of experience. We’re ready to shake up the industry.
FOCUSED PROBLEM SOLVERS
Our Climavision team has an unwavering commitment to advancing weather prediction in the fight against climate-based risk by significantly changing the industry’s approach to data capture and delivery.
HOW WE DO IT
Going to extremes
Weather prediction relies on a single core element – observation. Our dedicated weather radar network provides more coverage and delivers significantly more data than ever available. Our access to proprietary GPS-RO data and other high-value observation data sets delivers highly valuable information in gap areas across the globe, especially over the ocean. This ability expands our visibility and understanding of the atmosphere, far beyond sparsely launched weather balloons. Filling hundreds of gaps in coverage is akin to filling in the missing pieces of a puzzle – finally, we can survey extreme weather phenomena, such as hurricanes, faster and at higher resolution, before they hit close to home.
Observations are just the beginning. We’re marrying observations with cutting edge technology. Armed with new data points, our cloud-based storage and high-powered computing (HPC) delivers critical nowcasts plus short-, mid-, and long-range forecasts. Our visualizations and interactive maps give greater visibility into the potential impacts of severe weather events with greater precision and longer lead times than previously available.

New Weather Radar Arrives in Northwest PA Just Ahead of Winter Weather
LOUISVILLE, KY, and PLEASANTVILLE, PA – As residents of Erie and Northwestern Pennsylvania prepare for another winter, they’ll have a new tool in place to give them more warning of winter weather than ever before. Since the 1990s, the National Weather Service has monitored severe weather across the country using NEXRAD S-band radars. However, gaps can exist between these systems as the radar beam moves higher in the atmosphere the further it gets from the radar location. The distance between the NEXRADs in Cleveland and Buffalo created just such a gap in Northwest Pennsylvania and along the Lake Erie shore – an area that’s especially prone to lake-effect snow and other weather than can develop at lower altitudes. Louisville-based weather tech pioneer Climavision has now effectively closed that gap, by installing one of its gap-filling X-band radars in Pleasantville. The new radar will provide low-altitude coverage extending to the lake shore and beyond, and its high-resolution technology is particularly effective at tracking the kinds of winter weather, such as snow squalls, that have been challenging to detect in the past.
NOAA extends partnership with Climavision for five years
LOUISVILLE, KY (October 8, 2024) – In the three years since its founding, weather tech pioneer Climavision has advanced the state of the art in weather observation by working with public and private partners. Now, NOAA’s National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) can experimentally explore new ways to leverage the company’s groundbreaking radar data, thanks to a multi-year extension of their partnership.

Bryan–College Station now has its very own state-of-the-art weather radar system
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - For the first time, Bryan–College Station has its own live, consistent radar offering a more detailed, timely look at what’s going on in our skies. The new system was dedicated and formally installed by Climavision this morning on Texas A&M’s campus. A celebration of collaborations for the new weather radar system between Texas A&M, Climavision and KBTX was held Friday morning. The new radar system is exclusive to KBTX and to students at Texas A&M, who can use it to expand their knowledge of weather science. It‘s part of an effort to eliminate holes in the federal government’s Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) system.

Hurricane Remnants Trigger Wind and Rain Warnings in Scotland
There’s an alert for rain across western Scotland, with more than 100 millimeters (4 inches) forecast for higher ground, according to the UK Met Office. At the same time, a wind warning covers parts of northern Wales, northern England and southern Scotland, with gusts of up to 60 miles (97 kilometers) per hour expected. “Our (Horizon AI) global forecast model shows that Ernesto remnants have phased in with the jet stream, becoming part of a large scale extra-tropical storm system,” which could also impact Norway, according to Climavision.
