Radar as a Service

Complete The Weather Picture

Our proprietary network of high-resolution radars creates seamless coverage for real-time information. With Radar as a Service (RaaS) from Climavision, see critical storm development detail as it unfolds.

 

GET READY TO SEE MORE AND DO MORE 

Extreme weather events are happening more often than ever. The volatility of flood, tornadic, frozen precipitation and even wildfire events put people and businesses at risk. More accurate, timely forecasts and real-time weather data have never been more critical.

Lower-level atmospheric surveillance is critical to meteorologists and imperative for severe weather detection, forecasts, and warnings. While the U.S. NEXrad is the gold-standard of radar networks, because of the curvature of the earth and topographic obstacles, there are still gaps the network doesn’t cover completely, putting areas at risk for missed critical details during impactful weather.

We fill the critical observation gaps with our advanced weather radar systems – the first of its kind, comprehensive, proprietary radar network providing access to real-time, streaming radar data. Our network infrastructure delivers more complete coverage at critical low levels of the atmosphere. The best part? We offer access to this network as a simple subscription service – Radar as a Service.

Seeing is Believing

Don’t take our word for it. Check out the real-life examples below that take Climavision’s Radar as a Service benefits from theory to reality.

Low Level Precipitation

High Impact

With Climavision’s Radar as a Service, organizations have low altitude views of precipitation often “overshot” by far away radars. The left image is a view of rain as Hurricane Ian departs North Carolina as seen by the NWS radar; the right is a view as seen by our radar. Because we are focusing on the lowest altitudes, we were able to see rain at the lowest levels for hours after NWS radars were indicating all clear.

This is important for flood management, transport (had this been an icing event). Not all impactful weather is “severe”.

 

Hook Echo DetectionS

Know when severe weather is developing

One of Climavision’s radars in Georgia was able to pick up a tornado minutes after the radar went live for the first time.

This type of high resolution, critical information will be available to you as you look to prepare your personnel and equipment for incoming storms, for monitoring the weather event as it progresses and determining where exactly to send response assets and crews to address any potential infrastructure or equipment damage.

Clear Insight When You Need it Most

Climavision’s proprietary radar technology offers higher spatial and temporal resolution that allows our radars to deliver more accurate, more timely precipitation information at a more local scale than more distant NWS NEXRAD radars. Our low-level atmospheric scan strategy delivers improved accuracy of rain rates and a greater ability to discern between heavy hail, rain, sleet, ice, and snow. Users now have better data to make critical decisions during severe weather and flash flooding events.

INCREASE REVENUE, REDUCE COSTS, SAVE COMMUNITIES

The increasing frequency of catastrophic weather events calls for new solutions to mitigate risk, protect property, and save lives. Our proprietary radar network delivers faster, more accurate weather insight, leading to more confident decision making in critical situations.
