In high school Earth science, you likely learned that hailstorms form when strong upward winds push water droplets to freezing altitudes, where they solidify and gather additional layers of ice as they cycle up and down the storm cloud. When they grow too heavy, they plummet to the ground. For once, however, new research suggests that the truth might be simpler than what we were taught to believe. An international team of researchers has shed light on the formation and growth of hailstones in s

Monday, February 6, 2012 Someone asked me an interesting question the other day: "How did you justify taking such a huge risk on building Storm while working on a startup?" (Storm is a realtime computation system). I can see how from an outsider's perspective investing in such a massive project seems extremely risky for a startup. From my perspective, though, building Storm wasn't risky at all. It was challenging, but not risky. I follow a style of development that greatly reduces the risk of

A report published this week by the National Hurricane Center revealed the brutal impact of Hurricane Helene, which hit the American Southeast in late September 2024. The center reports that Hurricane Helene was the deadliest storm since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The report found that Helene “is responsible for at least 249 fatalities in the United States (including at least 175 direct deaths),” making it the deadliest storm in 20 years. You can read the NHC’s comprehensive report here. Hurri

A previously overlooked factor may have contributed to the debilitating strength of Hurricane Idalia, which cost the United States billions of dollars when it struck in August 2023. According to a team of researchers that studied the climatic conditions around the storm, the typical cocktail of weather conditions that feed a hurricane doesn’t add up in Idalia’s case. The team’s research analyzing the storm’s evolution was published last month in Environmental Research Letters. The team found t

Our team builds on experience from Rivian, DeepMind, Inspire, Y Combinator, and Cypress Creek Renewables (one of the nation’s largest renewable energy developers). We also love whiteboards and brainstorming, which is the main reason we’re building in-person in Los Angeles, CA. Our office is in Venice, just a few blocks away from the ocean and Abbot Kinney.

NASA satellite imagery captured tropical cyclones crowding the waters of two oceans in the Southern Hemisphere in recent days. Three storms were simultaneously active in the Pacific Ocean—a rare event—but satellites also captured a trio of cyclones rolling across the Indian Ocean. The images reveal the intensity of the weather across a broad sweep of the Southern Hemisphere, and showcases the utility of agency satellites in tracking storm systems from low-Earth orbit. The images were taken by
