How Windborne Systems Outpaces Government Weather Services with AI and Aerial Sensors

Friends — from the AI world: startup Windborne Systems has launched WeatherMesh 6, a model it claims is more accurate than ECMWF systems.

- Hourly forecasts with up to 3 km resolution across the US and Europe.
- The edge: proprietary observations — ~400 radiosondes and refined ingestion of readings into a transformer model.
- After a passenger‑aircraft incident they integrated ADS‑B transponders; the data are sold to NOAA, military customers and traders.

Why it matters: the combination of high-quality, proprietary observations and advanced modeling could reshape forecasting.

Who do you think will benefit most from the shift to AI-driven forecasts?
