The Future of Food: Modeling Climate Impacts on Crop Growth
Scientists have long warned that climate change could severely impact the supply chain of crops globally. Now, engineering could help.
Service: Meteorology and Climate Analysis
Adapt and Thrive in a Changing Climate with Expert Meteorology and Weather Solutions
Comprehensive climate data for better decision making
Climate and weather affect everything in the built environment, from buildings and infrastructure to the people who inhabit it.
Using high-performance computing to create accurate models, we’ll give you the accurate, site-specific, and timely climate data that you need to make better decisions and keep your project safe and operational.
Our team of meteorologists, engineers, climatologists, and numerical modeling experts address weather impacts from typical to extreme conditions. We help ensure your project’s safety, functionality, and optimal engineering for the local climate.
The very first step in effectively addressing climate change within the built environment is to try to understand just how quickly the climate is changing. Once you have an idea of...

How our meteorology and climate analysis services can benefit your project
Make better decisions early with customized climate analysis solutions
We take a holistic approach to understanding climate data. Whether you are considering historical or future climate trends, looking for short or long-term data, or focusing on an entire region or specific site, you need accurate and clear results.
Enhance occupant and structure safety
Understanding the mechanisms of weather and climate and their impact is a key element in all our work. We look at weather effects on routine operations and everyday human comfort. For the rarest and most extreme events, we look for ways to ensure the continued safety and functionality of your project.
Future-proof structures from climate change impacts
It can be challenging to build today while planning for tomorrow’s changing climate. We know that generalized global scenarios are no help when your responsibilities are local. We project weather trends at a local level for decades in the future and help you interpret how changes in both typical and extreme conditions could affect your building, project, community, or industry. Build to withstand extreme weather and conform to the associated building codes and regulations.
Reduce delays & manage risks that directly impact bottom lines
In some industries, inclement weather can directly impact your bottom line. With industry-specific, real-time forecasting solutions, including weather warning and advisory services, we support your operational decisions. Customized forecasting solutions ensure you get the weather data you need, when you need it.
Evaluate complex historical data for full visibility
Many sites require nuanced, local climate data but historical data isn’t always available or detailed enough. Our meteorologists help fill in the gaps with our in-house modeling capabilities, to give you the best possible insight into the climate at your project location.
How we help
Through collaboration, our experienced specialists help you find creative and optimized solutions tailored to your local climate.

Weather reconstruction
Our weather reconstruction service optimizes design and forensic review with data that is specific to your particular site. When historical data isn’t available, specific, or accurate enough, we fill in the missing data points using similar modeling approaches in a weather reconstruction. With deep knowledge of weather and the physics of the atmosphere, we can make the best possible interpretation of the climate at your site.
With a reconstruction, you can evaluate weather trends and patterns and design accordingly.

Climate change studies
Global climate change scenarios are not much help when your responsibilities are local. By combining numerical and statistical techniques with the best climate models available, we project weather trends at a very local level for 20 to 30 years in the future.
We provide analysis on how changes in both typical and extreme conditions may impact your project. We then collaborate with you to identify a mitigation or adaptation plan that works for your business and site.

FAQs about our meteorology and climate analysis services
Still have questions? Contact us.
We employ the most advanced meteorological models, such as WRF, as well as state-of-the-art analysis and visualization tools such as NCL, VERDI, and VAPOR. For our computationally intensive modeling applications, we leverage the power of our high-performance Beowulf Linux cluster.
We use advanced modeling approaches to ‘fill in the blanks’ in a weather reconstruction when historical data aren’t available or accurate enough. This complex process relies on deep knowledge of weather and the physics of the atmosphere to make the best possible interpretation of the climate at your site.
