LOUISVILLE, KY – Weather tech pioneer Climavision is marking its third anniversary by combining the
strengths of its fast-growing forecast portfolio into one market-ready solution – the new Horizon AI suite
of products.
From its launch in 2021, Climavision’s expertise and unique observational datasets have made it a leader
in the established field of numerical weather prediction (NWP). The company has also steadily expanded
its application of machine learning and AI to increase the accuracy and range of its forecast models.
Now, with the recent acquisition of Intersphere, a pioneer in the field of AI-Driven subseasonal to
seasonal (S2S) forecasts, Horizon AI will fully integrate Climavision’s unprecedented range of offerings,
meeting virtually any market need.
“Bringing a complete set of solutions like this to market is a major development for the industry and for
our clients, but it’s a very natural step for us as a company,” said Chris Goode, CEO of Climavision.
“We’ve spent the last three years developing the team and technology to deliver best-in-class products
across a range of applications and forecast periods. We’re thrilled to combine them all into one
comprehensive offering.”
While much of the current buzz about AI-Driven weather prediction is built around far-off future
possibilities, Horizon AI is delivering four uniquely valuable products across all time scales to customers
today:
• Horizon AI Global. This mid-range forecast targets large-scale events out to 15-days. This is
especially useful in planning for impacts of tropical weather.
• Horizon AI HIRES. Detailed short-range modeling down to a 1km grid, predicting high-impact
severe weather events up to 5 days out. The level of detail makes a critical difference in complex
terrain.
• Horizon AI Point. Point-based, highly accurate mid-range forecasting out to 15 days, blending up
to 100+ NWP models and sensor data.
• Horizon AI Subseasonal to Seasonal (S2S). Detailed, long-range forecasting calculates
probabilities and is verified using the most detailed weather observations available. The results
are issued and verified daily against actual observations, consistently showing accuracy 50
percent higher than publicly available models.
The Horizon AI suite is especially useful for clients because all the products can be customized to the
needs of specific industries. For instance, Horizon AI S2S can generate probability scenarios tailored to
the renewable energy market with numerous variables down to units as small as an individual wind or
solar farm – in time frames ranging out to two years for some parameters.
“Bringing all of these offerings under one umbrella helps our customers plan across the entire range of
weather forecasting horizons,” said Ben Toms PhD, Climavision’s VP, AI for Weather. “Each of the
Horizon AI products leverages our deep expertise in science and technology to deliver the insights most
relevant to each client — providing an edge for making decisions.”
