How does AceCAST pay for itself?
The Problem
The cost of ineffective and non-forecasted weather in lost business profit is 3.4% of GDP or $714 billion for 2022. This has long been considered the cost of doing business. It does not have to be this way.
The Solution
The accelerated WRF software product AceCAST can enable faster high resolution forecasts which will enable better operating decisions through better insights into severe weather. This will enable recovery of the lost profit.
AceCAST provides:
- Better insights into the LOCATION of where severe weather will occur
- Better insight into the INTENSITY of weather events to better understand severity
- Better insight into the TIMING of severe weather events to ensure preservation of life
The Power of TempoQuest
MORE DETAILED AND PREDICTIVE STORM RELATIVE HELICITY
AceCAST provides greater insights into tornado formation and earlier warning. Storm Relative Helicity is a measure of the potential for cyclonic updraft rotation in right-moving supercells. Larger values of SRH (greater than 250 m2 s-2) suggest an increased threat of tornadoes with supercells.

3KM HRRR CURRENTLY USED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
(Highest SRH: 200-275 m2/s2)
NEW 1KM AceCAST
(Highest SRH: 400-550 m2/s2)
During an outbreak on 8/9/21, tornadoes occurred within the same region the 1km AceCAST model run indicated likely tornado formation 6-10 hours earlier in the day.
The Power of TempoQuest
AceCAST forecasts localized fire winds to better predict forest fires spread faster than ever before. See below that AceCAST forecasts 14kt winds on the east side of the fire.
