Tomorrow.io’s radar satellites use machine learning to punch well above their weight

Tomorrow.io has released the groundbreaking results from its first two radar satellites, demonstrating competitive performance with larger, traditional weather forecasting technology through machine learning.

The innovative approach utilizes small, modern Ka-band radar satellites weighing only 85 kilograms each, showing comparable or superior accuracy and precision to NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement satellite and ground-based systems.

Tomorrow.io’s mission is to establish a global network of satellites to provide detailed, real-time precipitation data anywhere in the world, aiming to revolutionize weather forecasting with enhanced accuracy, global availability, and reduced latency.
