1 About the Company

For many years, weather forecasting models used grid cells that were 5km on a side. Now, models are available that use much smaller grid cells.

In addition, for many years, weather sensors were expensive and difficult to operate (and maintain). Now, new computing and communications technology makes it much easier to measure a variety of things at a wide variety of locations, and transmit those data to a central location for distribution and processing.

Finally, meteorology is increasingly concerned with weather control and modification, in addition to weather monitoring and forecasting. This includes technologies like seeding clouds, firing lasers into storms, and distributing cryogenics in the oceans.

WeatherBits is a committed to using these advanced models, new sensors, and other weather-related technologies, in a variety of different innovative products that improve people's lives.

• SunDaze, SunScreener, and UVICast - a suite of products that can be used to process and display "sun safety" information, including the current UV Index (UVI) and forecasted UVIs.
• UnderTheWeather - a system that is used to control devices in and around the home (e.g., thermostats, sprinklers, driveway heaters) based on current and forecasted weather conditions.
• WeatherBitmaps - a system that can be used to display localized forecasts graphically.
• WeatherCell - a system for delivering localized weather information to cellular telephones and handheld computers in order to improve personal and business decision-making.
• WeatherFend - a system that uses localized weather information to predict likely accident sites (to provide information to in-vehicle navigation systems and first-responders) and weather control technologies to reduce the likelihood of accidents at these sites..
• WeatherOrKnot - a system for using localized weather information and weather control technologies to improve the operation of boats and ships.
• WeatherThouGoest - a system for incorporating localized weather information in in-vehicle navigation systems.

3 About the Name and Logo

The word 'weatherbit' means "to take another turn with". WeatherBits is going to take another turn marketing weather-related products.

The logo is supposed to convey the impression of bits of data about the weather as well as the grid cells used in weather forecasting models.
