Horizon AI offers detailed probabilities
ranging from short to long term, and from global to pinpoint
scale
Weather tech pioneer Climavision is marking its third
anniversary by combining the strengths of its fast-growing forecast
portfolio into one market-ready solution - the new Horizon
AI suite of products.
From its launch in 2021, Climavision’s expertise and unique
observational datasets have made it a leader in the established
field of numerical weather prediction (NWP). The company has also
steadily expanded its application of machine learning and AI to
increase the accuracy and range of its forecast models. Now, with
the recent acquisition of Intersphere, a pioneer in the field of
AI-Driven subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) forecasts, Horizon
AI will fully integrate Climavision’s unprecedented range of
offerings, meeting virtually any market need.
“Bringing a complete set of solutions like this to market is a
major development for the industry and for our clients, but it’s a
very natural step for us as a company,” said Chris Goode, CEO of
Climavision. “We’ve spent the last three years developing the team
and technology to deliver best-in-class products across a range of
applications and forecast periods. We’re thrilled to combine them
all into one comprehensive offering."
While much of the current buzz about AI-Driven weather
prediction is built around far-off future possibilities, Horizon
AI is delivering four uniquely valuable products across all
time scales to customers today:
- Horizon AI Global. This mid-range forecast targets
large-scale events out to 15-days. This is especially useful in
planning for impacts of tropical weather.
- Horizon AI HIRES. Detailed short-range modeling down to
a 1km grid, predicting high-impact severe weather events up to 5
days out. The level of detail makes a critical difference in
complex terrain.
- Horizon AI Point. Point-based, highly accurate mid-range
forecasting out to 15 days, blending up to 100+ NWP models and
sensor data.
- Horizon AI Subseasonal to Seasonal (S2S). Detailed,
long-range forecasting calculates probabilities and is verified
using the most detailed weather observations available. The results
are issued and verified daily against actual observations,
consistently showing accuracy 50 percent higher than publicly
available models.
The Horizon AI suite is especially useful for clients
because all the products can be customized to the needs of specific
industries. For instance, Horizon AI S2S can generate
probability scenarios tailored to the renewable energy market with
numerous variables down to units as small as an individual wind or
solar farm - in time frames ranging out to two years for some
parameters.
"Bringing all of these offerings under one umbrella helps our
customers plan across the entire range of weather forecasting
horizons," said Ben Toms PhD, Climavision’s VP, AI for Weather.
"Each of the Horizon AI products leverages our deep expertise in
science and technology to deliver the insights most relevant to
each client -- providing an edge for making decisions."
