Tomorrow.io is setting a new benchmark in global weather forecasting with the launch of its first microwave sounder satellites, marking a significant milestone for the Standard Investments portfolio company. Since the launch in August, the satellites have collected critical atmospheric data for training AI models, providing unprecedented sub-hourly observations of temperature, precipitation, humidity, and more. The technology has the potential to transform weather prediction in areas where traditional satellite coverage is limited, like oceans and remote regions.
Standard Industries continues to lead innovation through its portfolio, with Tomorrow.io setting a new standard in weather forecasting. The launch of its microwave sounder satellites marks a leap forward in global weather prediction, especially for underserved regions like oceans and remote areas. By leveraging cutting-edge AI models trained on sub-hourly atmospheric data—temperature, humidity, precipitation, and more—Tomorrow.io's technology offers actionable insights that can reshape industries reliant on precise weather information, from agriculture to logistics. This milestone not only highlights Tomorrow.io's transformative capabilities but also underscores Standard Industries' vision for pioneering solutions that address critical global challenges. Excited to see how this innovation impacts industries and communities worldwide.
