Atmospheric Physics Observational Core
Helios Dynamics deploys physical modelling across multiple ground-based and satellite-coupled meteorological channels.
Convective Storm Dynamics
Analysis of updraft velocities, storm top divergence, and microburst risk using multi-Doppler wind field reconstructions over the English Channel and North Sea.
Precision Lightning Network
Sub-millisecond Time-of-Arrival (TOA) and magnetic direction-finding sensor arrays delivering 3D intra-cloud (IC) and cloud-to-ground (CG) strike discrimination.
Thermodynamic Sounding Ingestion
Continuous assimilation of radiosonde data, microwave radiometers, and boundary layer wind profilers for instantaneous Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) calculation.
Precipitation Reflectivity
Dual-polarisation radar algorithms classifying hydrometeor phases (rain, supercooled droplets, graupel, hail) with 0.5 km spatial fidelity.
Charge Distribution Modelling
Physical simulation of electrostatic tripole structures within cumulonimbus systems to predict rapid electrification and severe storm escalation.
Critical Infrastructure Alerting
Automated, low-latency API alerting for aviation flight corridors, marine logistics, power transmission lines, and high-voltage grid resilience.
