Our Mission

For a software startup, we're a bit unusual: we're self-funded, have been profitable from the start, and funnel a lot of our efforts into researching new ways to do what we do. Although we're no longer a two-man operation - having partnered with a company called applied invention and grown our team - our focus has always been on sustainability over growth, and we plan to keep it that way. If you have any questions about us, our app, or about the weather in general, please feel free to drop us a line: we'd love to hear from you.

Weather forecasting is the art of predicting what will happen in the future. In its simplest form, it's merely a matter of looking out the window to see what types of clouds are around and which way they are moving. Knowledge of local weather patterns can then allow fairly good predictions for the next 12 to 24 hours.

Radar is another major tool of weather observation and forecasting. It is used primarily to observe clouds and rain locally. One type of radar, called Doppler radar, is used at weather stations throughout the world. Doppler radar measures changes in wind speed and direction. It provides information within a radius of about 230 kilometers (143 miles). Conventional radar can only show existing clouds and precipitation. With Doppler radar, meteorologists are able to forecast when and where severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are developing.

Doppler radar has made air travel safer. It lets air traffic controllers detect severe local conditions, such as microbursts. Microbursts are powerful winds that originate in thunderstorms. They are among the most dangerous weather phenomena a pilot can encounter. If an aircraft attempts to land or take off through a microburst, the suddenly changing wind conditions can cause the craft to lose lift and crash. In the United States alone, airline crashes because of microbursts have caused more than 600 deaths since 1964.
