What we’ve been working on

HydroForecast ST-3 Announcement

Last week Upstream Tech officially announced ST-3, the latest, most robust version of HydroForecast yet. HydroForecast ST-3 is resilient to input source disruption like missing or delayed weather forecasts, it incorporates highly specialized weather forecasts like NOAA's High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR), and provides per-weather source forecast traces, in addition to its primary forecast.

Learn more about HydroForecast ST-3 in this blog post, which includes additional details about how it improves upon previous versions of HydroForecast and a few words from our CEO, Marshall Moutenot, discussing the motivation behind the work to release ST-3.

Stay tuned for updates as we roll out ST-3 among our existing customers.

Leveraging AI to mitigate snow droughts

The HydroForecast team recently released a blog post discussing how snowmelt season is increasingly impacted by climate change, leading to more frequent and severe ‘snow droughts’ which pose management challenges in areas including hydropower, agriculture, and ecosystem health.

See the full article, Snowmelt season preparedness: leveraging AI to build resilience and mitigate risks to learn more about these topics and how HydroForecast short-term and seasonal forecasts can help mitigate some of these risks.

What's Next

• HydroForecast is launching a webinar series called Ripple Effect, which shares customer experiences in a live conversation. Registration details coming soon.
