AirDat LLC
AirDat operates a sensor network for collecting upper air data in near real time. The aircraft-mounted sensor, called TAMDAR (Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reporting), transmits observations via satellite to AirDat's data center, where they are processed, archived and distributed. TAMDAR supplements existing data sources with improved temporal and spatial coverage and richer data sets for better weather reporting and forecasting. AirDat is now deploying TAMDAR sensors to provide upper air data for the continental United States and other parts of the world.
