High-resolution 3D Volumetric Scans

Detailed cloud and precipitation scans across a 400 km ground swath, with 250 m vertical and 5 km horizontal resolution sufficient to resolve individual storm cells.

Enhanced Coverage

Our proprietary scanning antenna technology enables an impressive scan range of +/- 20 deg / 400 km swath while maintaining very high measurement sensitivity.

In-Depth Surface Characterization

Detailed 2D maps of land and ocean surfaces, yielding valuable data like near-surface wind speed over ocean and land surface information (e.g., snow extent, soil moisture).

Tomorrow.io’s Pathfinders are just the beginning. Combined with radar and sounder-equipped satellites, our multi-sensor constellation is set to revolutionize weather forecasting.
