Turning Data into Action: How RiverAware Helps Communities Monitor Flood Risk
|
|
When floodwaters rose in their own backyard, the team at Transcend Engineering saw a clear need: more accessible, reliable, and real-time river data. That insight led to RiverAware, a mobile app designed to deliver actionable stream and river conditions to the public — powered in part by Synoptic’s API.
By leveraging Synoptic’s reliable access to USGS and other streamgage networks, RiverAware enables custom alerts, quality-controlled data, and fast updates that support local decision-making during flood events.
Learn how this integration is helping bridge the gap between environmental observations and public safety. |

Product Spotlight: Precipitation Service
|
|
If you’re familiar with precipitation data, you know that differences in instruments, measurement intervals, techniques, and reporting make it challenging to compare data across weather stations. The Synoptic Precipitation Service removes this barrier by organizing the data into a uniform format, ensuring consistency and comparability. The precipitation data is quality controlled, something we offer on all data coming into our platform, and delivered to users at customizable intervals.
|
|
|
|
This service saves time and effort, providing reliable and standardized precipitation data for further analysis.

The Louisiana State Mesonet is now available on the Synoptic platform! The network was developed by the University of Louisiana Monroe and consists of 10 stations (and growing!) across the state providing real-time observations of temperature, relative humidity, wind conditions, soil temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and other key atmospheric variables. These high-quality data support forecasting, regional monitoring for agriculture, emergency management, and environmental research.

CenterPoint Energy Network
|
Synoptic has also added the CenterPoint Energy weather station network to our platform. This expansive network comprises 100 stations, strategically deployed across 12 counties in the Greater Houston, Texas area. Each station collects real-time data every 2–5 minutes on key atmospheric variables, including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation. By making this data publicly accessible on the Synoptic platform, CenterPoint is providing valuable real-time observations that enhance situational awareness for weather-sensitive operations and communities alike. |
