Weather forecasting tech company plans 2 X-band radars to cover NCW gaps
Kentucky-based Climavision plans to install 200 radars in the next four years, including up to four radars in Washington at no cost to the community, said Tara Leigh Goode, Climavision vice president/strategic partnerships and radar operations. The weather forecasting technology firm received $100 million from The Rise Fund, TPG’s global impact investing platform, to fund the buildouts and upkeep, Goode said. Fort Worth, Texas-based TPG Inc., previously known as Texas Pacific Group and TPG Capital, is an American private equity firm.
