What’s Happening at WeatherFlow
2009 has been an exciting year at WeatherFlow. The beginning of the year was marked by the launch of our web-based DataScope service, aimed at business, professional, and government users. The highlight of the spring was a major installation effort as we installed another 50 stations as part of our groundbreaking Hurricane Network, reaching full operational status for the 2009 Hurricane Season.
The rollout of our WindAlert desktop and iPhone applications during the summer and fall was greeted enthusiastically, with over 10,000 downloads in just three months. Capping off the year was the highly successful installation of 9 stations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, our first expansion into the Caribbean.
Throughout the year, WeatherFlow representatives were active professionally, including leadership roles in the Regional Associations of NOAA’s Interagency Oceanographic Observing System (IOOS) and the National Research Council’s Network of Networks study group and presentations at Congressional meetings, the American Wind Energy Association’s Windpower 2009 conference, and the Marine Technology Society’s annual meeting.
