Understory generates real-time, localized, weather data, powered by a dense grids of patent-pending, next generation weather stations. The hardware designed by Understory detects rain, hail, winds and other weather events directly at the Earth’s surface where the risk to life and property is greatest. The information collected by Understory is analyzed and processed to create real-time datasets and views of the movement and intensity of weather events to provide better insight and early detection of risks. Understory's weather station generates three-dimensional wind, rain, and hail observations as well as temperature, pressure, humidity, lightning strikes, and ambient light. We upload the data over cellular to paint a picture of real time observations at a 1-2 mile resolution that sheds ground truth on how the weather affects people and businesses.
