Data backbone · Weather satellite
Rain, read from orbit.
Ground stations are sparse; the sky is not. Satellite-derived weather gives you rainfall, cloud, and moisture as continuous fields — everywhere at once, updated through the day, even where no gauge has ever stood.

What's inside
- Satellite rainfallPrecipitation estimates as gridded intensity, refreshed through the day.
- Cloud & moistureCloud cover and atmospheric moisture for nowcasting and context.
- AccumulationRolling totals that turn single passes into trends.
- AnomalyHow today compares to normal — the signal beneath the noise.
Where it's used
- Flood early warning
Upstream rainfall is the earliest signal of downstream risk.
- Agriculture
Water where and when crops need it, without a gauge in every field.
- Operations & logistics
Weather that moves plans, priced into the schedule ahead of time.
Feeds, not snapshots.
Weather is a moving target. We ingest and process it continuously, so whatever you build on top is always looking at now.
