Record-breaking

Atmospheric data is the biggest missing piece to improving modern forecasts. We fuse data from our long-duration balloons with state-of-the-art AI models to produce the most accurate weather forecasts.

Novel, global atmospheric data at a fraction of the cost

Up to 250x more data per dollar

Rapid global access via international launch sites

Targets crucial real-time data, not otherwise captured

Complete global access, from surface to stratosphere

WindBorne designs, builds, and operates the only technology that can capture in-situ atmospheric profiles everywhere, including over oceans and the Earth’s most remote places. Each balloon can maintain or transition between any altitude from sea level to 20 km, autonomously flying for weeks at a time.

Our unparalleled Atmospheric Constellation

At WindBorne, we operate Atlas, the largest balloon constellation in the world and the foundation of our planetary nervous system. We launch hundreds of autonomous, next-generation weather balloons each month from our global launch sites and are scaling Atlas to permanently close atmospheric data gaps from pole to pole.
