An interesting anecdote from a past job - Flyht [1] acquired the assets from Panasonic Weather Solutions (PWS) some time ago [2].

The weather model from PWS was incredible, using TAMDAR sensors mounted on commercial aircraft, which recorded data at multiple altitudes getting a great sample of conditions from many layers of the atmosphere as aircraft ascend and descend.

IIRC, during hurricane season some years ago, the PWS model outperformed hurricane path predictions from many other organizations in terms of accuracy, among other things.

I love this share too, and I suspect this weather data could be very useful!

This is a blatant ad…

[mlyle]

Is it, though?

It's not clear to me that they even still sell the weather service itself. They do sell the sensors, but this feels a little off target as a forum to sell either weather data or sensors for aircraft.

The poster claims no longer to be employed there, and hasn't obviously posted anything else on this topic.

And, well, TAMDAR data itself as used to improve forecasting is of broad interest.

Assume good faith.

What is the problem with promoting your service ? Half of YC mantra is about hustling and spamming your company services everywhere, on boards, to other founders who might use the service, to investors, etc

It wasn't an ad. I used to work for the parent company of PWS years ago, and their weather model was really awesome.

I thought the TAMDAR tech reference might be if interest to those following and reading comments here.

I'm not associated with them anymore and I'm not sure how much of their model still exists after the assets were sold to flyht, but I hope it does because we need good weather models!

Fair enough being vigilant, but not an ad.

You can talk about your previous work and be happy about sharing it with the world without it being an advertisement.
