What we do
Satellite data product development and algorithm implementation
We develop, implement, migrate, validate, and sustain scientific algorithms and higher-level data products derived from satellite sensors supporting real-time and retrospective processing for weather forecasting, climate monitoring, disaster response, oceanic/atmospheric/hydrologic modeling, and environmental decision making. We imbed modern IT practices like cloud migration, data integrity verification, zero trust security, and automated pipelines to ensure compliance, resilience, and efficiency in regulated federal environments. Our operational Research-to-Operations (R2O) scientists and engineers leverage repeatable processes from prototype through production to ensure robust workflows from data ingest through product generation, validation, and global dissemination.
Atmospheric and weather modeling
We support the development, implementation, enhancement, and operational sustainment of physics-based and data-driven numerical models for atmospheric processes, weather prediction, climate forecasting, and related Earth systems. This includes data assimilation from satellites and other sources, model workflow optimization, simulation environments, AI/M hybridization, and secure migration/modernization of legacy modeling systems in compliance heavy federal environments to improve forecast accuracy, anomaly detection, and resilience against operational disruptions. Our staff’s expertise spans data assimilation, reanalysis and reforecasting, ensemble post-processing, bias correction, and forecast product enhancement to enable Impact-based Decision Support Services (IDSS).
Geophysical and environmental data analysis
We provide end-to-end scientific data analysis, integration, and interpretation focused on geophysical (e.g., geomagnetic, marine geology, solid Earth, space weather) and broader environmental parameters (atmospheric, oceanic, hydrologic, coastal, land surface). Our services encompass data acquisition/ingestion, quality control, multi-sensor fusion, advanced analytics (including AI/ML and physics-based methods), visualization, product generation, and long-term stewardship modernized through secure cloud migration, automated pipelines, and resilient infrastructure to ensure compliance, accuracy, and operational resilience in regulated federal environments. Our data analysts exploit data for research and operations while significantly increasing the value of Earth observations across multiple dimensions of U.S. and international-partner national security—water and food security (e.g., famine), energy security (e.g., space weather), fire weather, droughts and floods, infrastructure, and health.
