Precipitation Forecasting

Helping Decode Patterns of Precipitation

Predicting rain, snow, and other types of precipitation is a tremendously difficult challenge with enormous benefits for agriculture, conservation, forestry, urban planning, water resource management, and myriad other business and government applications.

SAIC's advanced capabilities in climate, ocean, and atmospheric modeling enable us to help our customers understand and predict likely precipitation events and patterns.

Precipitation Forecasting

SAIC has spent decades improving the precision and flexibility of weather models and forecasting tools for government agencies such as NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Department of Defense.

We use our experience developing physics processes and modeling algorithms to tackle one of the toughest forecasting challenges - predicting the future existence and effects of hurricanes, thunderstorms, snowstorms, and other precipitation events.

SAIC also performs research and development to improve the accuracy of our precipitation models with new computer, processing, and visualization tools.

Transforming Research to Operational Capabilities

Through our close collaboration with agencies like NASA and NOAA, SAIC has an expert understanding of how to transform emerging research developments in precipitation forecasting into reliable operational capabilities.
