02Stories

Where this platform is at work.

Field stories from the network, each with the systems in it and the sources behind it.

Farmland

Field to forecast

A farm observes water: in the soil, in the crop and in the air above it. Crop water use is computed from weather with a method agronomists have shared for…Read the story →
Forest and wildfire

Seeing smoke sooner

A fire is cheapest to fight in its first hour. Ridge-top cameras, weather in the stand and satellite hot spots each see it at different times and scales;…Read the story →
Arctic

Instruments at the edge of the cryosphere

The Arctic has warmed about three to four times faster than the global average, depending on the period and the dataset. The instruments that showed it are…Read the story →
Desert and dust

Dust, heat and the solar field

In deserts, dust is weather. It reaches cities as air pollution, crosses oceans, and settles on solar panels: soiling cost global solar output at least…Read the story →
Ocean

The ocean below the surface

Most of the ocean’s heat lies below what satellites can see. Profiling floats drifting at depth and surfacing to report have measured it routinely since the…Read the story →
Orbit

Orbits as infrastructure

Low orbits are fast and crowded, high orbits slow and spacious. Every choice of altitude is a trade between delay, footprint and how long the satellite…Read the story →
Overview

What changes by 2030

Six shifts will reshape how the Earth is observed before the decade ends: networks that sense, models that forecast, foundation models that read imagery,…Read the story →
AI weather and geospatial foundation models

Models that learned the atmosphere

In three years, machine-learned weather models went from research papers to operations. They learned from decades of reanalysis, which means they inherit…Read the story →
