intelligence

Sparse ocean data severely limits weather prediction

We deployed the largest private network of real-time ocean sensors to collect data at an unprecedented scale and deliver the most accurate marine weather intelligence.

Unparalleled precision fueled by real-time data and AI

Up to 50% more accurate forecasts

Real-time marine weather observations

We operate the world’s largest private network of real-time ocean sensors. Each day, hundreds (and counting) of our Spotter buoys make 1.5M+ observations of waves, winds, temperature, pressure, and more.

Cutting-edge data assimilation

data assimilation

We combine real-time Spotter observations, leading satellite measurements, and the best publicly-available data to produce superior forecasts. Our models use Spotter data to continuously shift our predictions closer to ground truth.

AI-powered forecast models, optimized for the ocean

Traditional forecast models serve users on land. Our breakthrough models put the ocean first. We combine real-time air-sea observations into a single system that produces better forecasts of ocean waves, winds, and currents.

Work smarter at sea

Wayfinder

Powered by the world’s most accurate marine weather, Wayfinder provides dynamic voyage optimization to maximize the safety, efficiency, and profitability of every voyage.

Spotter

Spotter is a modular, rapidly deployable marine sensing platform that delivers real-time surface and subsurface data to power better decisions.

“More than 500 sensors floating in the ocean help shape hurricane forecasts”

“An array of drifting buoys captures information about conditions underneath the storm as it churns the top few hundred feet of the ocean.”

“The kind of granularity and ground truth you get from having thousands of dedicated observers riding the waves is pretty clear.”
