Weather, Water, Land.
EarthCast starts with real-time, highly precise data about what is happening on the land, sea, and in the atmosphere. We use this to generate extremely accurate information about what will happen in the future at your exact location,
anywhere on the planet.
Hyperlocal Weather
The EarthCast team specializes in developing local and site-specific monitoring and prediction capabilities for clients who require high-resolution, rapid-update predictions. Utilizing real-time, space-based observations and advanced prediction technologies, we provide customer-focused data streams and products detailing weather, water, and land conditions
in real time, for any location on the planet.
EarthCast’s Data as a Service (DaaS) provides the hyperlocal, real-time monitoring and prediction information our clients need to make critical operational decisions.
Global Weather
Utilizing next generation, rapidly updating global satellite observations to monitor the Earth in real time, EarthCast provides critical environmental information for any location on the planet, including remote areas, open oceans
and high latitude locations.
We also monitor and predict space weather impacts on the Earth’s atmosphere.
Intuitive products like the 3 km resolution Global Radar Forecast shown below provide unrivaled situational awareness for true, all-domain environmental awareness.
From real-time observations to predictions of future conditions, information is ready for global information systems (GIS) integrations to support mission planning, historical analysis, context for trends, and environmental data solutions.

Environmental Intelligence: Science, Technology & Engineering Services
Lower Atmosphere & Aviation
EarthCast develops environmental intelligence solutions for some of the world’s biggest airlines and defense companies provided as both in-cockpit and ground-based solutions supporting tens of thousands of pilots and operations
personnel with mission-critical, 24/7/365 operations.
We develop customized solutions to deal with complex environmental hazards – from real-time alerting for turbulence to forecasting convective hazards around the globe.
Designed specifically for aviation, EarthCast provides monitoring and prediction products throughout the lower atmosphere with over 100 vertical flight levels (up to 100,000 ft+), including visibility, degraded visual environment
(DVE), cloud cover, cloud bases, cloud tops and ceilings, wind speed and direction, and more.
EarthCast also provides real-time alerting for flight hazards such as convection, icing, hail, volcanic ash, turbulence (with 3D views), lightning, contrails, and more.
Upper Atmosphere & Space
EarthCast is monitoring and predicting the upper atmosphere and space environment which is driven by the incoming solar wind (velocity, density, and magnetic field), solar ultraviolet (UV) and Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) radiation,
as well as gravity waves & tides from the lower part of the terrestrial atmosphere.
EarthCast’s operational Whole Atmosphere Models (WAM) provide revolutionary real-time, integrated space weather products and solutions for the Earth’s neutral atmosphere to an altitude 3,000 km+. This is a dramatic expansion
of the ability to monitor and predict the full depth and volume of the Earth’s terrestrial atmosphere.
In addition to extending prediction capability through the depths of the atmosphere, EarthCast is developing innovative technologies for monitoring and predicting the space weather plasma component of the atmosphere. Ionosphere
Plasmasphere Electrodynamics (IPE) provides global four-dimensional (4D) models of plasma densities and velocities (9 ion species), as well as ion and electron temperatures in the ionosphere and plasmasphere.
This new knowledge is critical to launch and space operations of high-altitude vehicles, satellites, and high frequency (HF) communications. EarthCast supports both national defense and commercial customers with advanced solutions for space-age challenges.
Hydrology, Land & Sea
EarthCast provides advanced environmental modeling solutions predicting numerous hazards and reducing the impact that they have on our customers’ operations.
Our hydrology modeling solutions provide predictions of flash flooding, streamflow, infiltration, saturation, washout, and groundwater flow.
Land surface models provide detailed information about soil conditions, including soil moisture and temperature, while ocean surface models provide information on key conditions including surface temperature and wave heights
at sub-kilometer resolutions.
EarthCast’s monitoring and prediction products include real-time alerting for hazards such as threats to commercial aviation, high-risk transportation corridors, railroad washout prediction, as well as flood
and flash flood alerting.
Defense and Government
EarthCast provides research, development, and system customization services to the Department of Defense and integrators supporting initiatives in commercial weather solutions, hypersonic vehicle and range testing, rapid-update
space-based observations, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and in-cockpit environmental situational awareness.
EarthCast is committed to serving the warfighter by applying advanced, commercially developed technologies to our nation’s defense through DoD Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer
(STTR) awards.
EarthCast delivers monitoring and prediction products for terrestrial weather that reach into the Thermosphere with predictions for over 100 vertical flight levels up to 100,000 feet, including convection, icing, turbulence,
visibility, cloud cover, cloud tops and ceilings, wind speed and direction, and more.
For space weather, we monitor and predict electron density, neutral air density, chemistry, and more. EarthCast provides real-time alerting for numerous hazards, including DVE, hail, volcanic ash, turbulence, lightning,
and flooding.

Space Weather
EarthCast’s space weather services address the most complex challenges facing those who operate at our atmosphere’s highest levels – and beyond. EarthCast provides real-time monitoring and predictions of key space weather components
such as neutral orbital air density, Total Electron Content (TEC), plasma densities and velocities with 9 ion species breakdown, and more, to altitudes over 2700 km.
EarthCast has developed specialized electron density monitoring and predictions for HF communications empowering solutions for Lowest Usable Frequency (LUF) due to D-region absorption, Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF), and
more.
EarthCast can also address small-scale ionospheric irregularities causing scintillations/fluctuation or complete loss of signal, and help with navigation signal delays and line of sight electron content for position error improvements.
EarthCast’s solutions provide details about the Earth’s neutral and charged atmosphere for improved planning and operations.
