WHY SHOULD YOU DOWNLOAD THE SHINE WEATHER APP?
While traditional, radar-enabled weather centers build apps by collecting data that analyzes conditions observed in the atmosphere, Understory’s ground-truth-based detection is a marked enhancement in both resolution and precision, providing real time datasets and graphical views of the movement and intensity of weather events, which leads to better insight and early detection of risks.
