Synoptic announced today that it has been awarded a subcontract with UCAR to integrate data from UCAR’s 3D-PAWS (3D Printed Automatic Weather Station) network into the Synoptic platform. This partnership will provide National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) in 18 countries with centralized access to real-time weather observations, visualization tools, automated alerts, and data dissemination capabilities through the Synoptic Data Viewer and Weather API.
By improving access to high-quality surface observations from historically under-observed regions, the initiative will also support NOAA forecasting models and strengthen global weather monitoring and resilience efforts. Read more about the partnership and its impact on the future of weather data sharing and forecasting accuracy.

Accelerating Hurricane Wind Footprint Analysis |
|
When hurricanes make landfall, understanding where the strongest winds occurred is essential for everything from insurance claims and infrastructure assessments to recovery planning and emergency response. In our latest customer story, Adiabat shares how they |
|
|
|
create detailed hurricane wind footprints that help organizations better understand storm impacts after the event. Using Synoptic’s quality-controlled weather observations and statistics services, Adiabat is able to quickly calibrate and validate wind data across affected regions, reducing analysis time from hours to minutes while delivering higher-resolution, decision-ready insights. Read how they’re turning complex weather data into actionable intelligence. |
