Climate Analytics

Technology Development Co.

For Sale
Software to make long range climate predictions.  Note!  These forecasts are not based on statistics but rather on the state of the atmosphere and ocean at the time the forecast is made, usually in January or February.   The forecast algorithms use Reanalysis Data from the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP).   

​Specializing in:
  • Arctic Sea-Ice breakup and freezeup dates.
  • Yearly precipitation amounts for selected sites.
  • El Nino and La Nina
 
What is long range?  
  •  Breakup of sea ice can be made as early as the 5th of April for the following summer.
  •  Forecasts of precipitation for the entire year are made in January and/or February.  
  •  El Nino ONI forecasts are typically made in spring or early summer for the following December, January and February (DJF).

Sea Ice Breakup and Freezeup Forecasts
Breakup is that time of year when the state of ice cover permits work boats to navigate safely.  Initial preparation is defining exactly what percentage of ice cover is suitable for the client and collecting the historical data that will be the basis for the forecasts.  An algorithm for each site is developed using the historical data.  An Initial  forecast is issued about the 5th of April and then updated at monthly intervals.   More information on Sea Ice


Precipitation Forecasts.
All precipitation forecasts are unique in that an algorithm must be developed for each site using historical data.
