Atmo

🌦️When the future is uncertain, the ground under you feels unstable – this is literally the case for the people of Tuvalu. Tuvalu is a small island nation made up of nine islands built on coral reefs, making it extremely vulnerable to climate change.

🛰️Atmo is helping. Over the next 10 years, we’ll provide AI-driven weather forecasts that are up to 100x more detailed and 50% more accurate than traditional methods. We are giving training to local personnel and integrate these forecasts into disaster management and climate adaptation strategies for local communities.

Residents of the Bay Area - if your weekend is turning out to be too warm, remember that our region is abundant with diverse microclimates. It's quite possible that a cooler atmosphere, marked by a temperature drop of 30 degrees, is just a few miles away!

The Washington Post: Atmo announced “the first AI-based live global weather forecast.” Its customers include both the U.S. Air Force and countries that cannot afford conventional models.

"We essentially think it’s possible now to use an AI meteorology model to allow every country and region to operate their own forecast,” Atmo CEO Alexander Levy said in an interview.

Should we trust AI to predict natural disasters? AI technologies that can predict the weather are rapidly improving, and they're much cheaper than traditional weather forecasting models. Will they be widely trusted?

We are pleased to announce our expanded contract with the United States Air Force research laboratory, AFWERX.

Atmo's AI weather forecasting services will assist AFWERX in their mission to accelerate agile and affordable capability transitions.

Stay tuned for exciting updates as propels innovation and cutting-edge technology forward in the US Department of Defense.

Over the last 30 years, more than 24,000 people have died due to heatwaves in India.

As we move into the future, the impacts are expected to worsen as heatwaves are becoming more frequent due to the increasing effects of climate change.

The extreme heat will impact energy security and the health of people living in affected areas, reversing progress in poverty reduction and inequality.

However, India is working to make strides to mitigate these effects by committing to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Among the objectives are reducing hunger, poverty, disease, and inequality and promoting education, sanitation, and health.
