CustomWeather, Inc., a specialized provider of high-resolution weather data and alert services, announces a collaboration with Stellar RHL Inc (adba Stellar Futures) to support Stellar’s development of Coastal4Runner.ai (C4R), an advanced software technology (SaaS) including digital twins, geographic information systems and generative AI. C4R helps create resilient communities and regions via climate change adaptation and prevention planning rather than solely crisis management.
Areas of collaboration include weather simulations, supporting public alerting and warning systems via C4R, weather education and mixed/augmented reality.
Geoff Flint, CEO of CustomWeather stated, “CustomWeather is excited about the potential that we see in Stellar’s Coastal4Runner.ai system. Machine Learning has been part of our approach to forecasting for many years, and we know that AI has great potential in weather modeling. This collaboration is a unique way to explore some of those possibilities.”
“We are delighted to embark on this new partnership after recently meeting Custom Weather at the CEPCA conference in Ottawa” noted Gary Stairs, Stellar’s founder and CEO. “CustomWeather is a time-proven innovator in the meteorological space, and this really rounds out our mission to harness cutting-edge AI and ML, empowering coastal communities by using climate intelligence and early warnings to build resilience against natural disasters.”
Stairs further remarked that “with CustomWeather, we will enable rapid, farsighted, adverse weather detection and provide an essential first line of defense against these disasters, protecting communities, properties, and ecosystems. It is proven that, in emergencies, even an advance window of 24 hours can mitigate up to 30% of damages and losses to homes and communities.”
