Can AI fix the weather forecast? @ryderkimball reports on WindBorne, the balloon-powered startup going head-to-head with world's biggest tech companies.

We just put up an incredible piece by @ryderkimball on the race to make much, much better weather forecasts with the help of AI and fancy balloons. Enjoy!!!

Satellite data reveals the rapid growth and devastating wake of the Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles. The near-infrared PlanetScope data contrasts green vegetation (highlighted red in these images) with its brown burn scar. This sequence contains data from January 5, 9 and 13.

As devastating wildfires spread through the Los Angeles area, Planet’s Crisis Response Program has made available select non-commercial data for qualified users affiliated with organizations directly involved in or supporting response efforts. This dataset is made available

Now you see it now you don’t—Tanager-1’s first methane mitigation success is a win for our satellite and for the planet! On October 9th, Tanager-1 detected a large plume over a gathering pipeline in the Texas Permian Basin. Each hour this leak emitted the CO2 equivalent to

Working on some designs to better show the scale of satellite imagery. Here’s part of Argentina in @planet data

Not sure about the hills, but the tundra definitely have eyes Halloween from space @planet

A neat way to discern topography in the Southwest is waiting for snow @planet

Visualizing the invisible: Tanager-1 is now detecting methane and CO2 emissions across the globe! Our partner @carbonmapper just released images of the first set of plumes spotted in our first hyperspectral satellite’s data. Get the details: https://t.co/dr4QGOlmu0

simultaneously unbelievable and entirely predictable

A Category 5 hurricane churns in the Gulf of Mexico as wildfires rage in the West. A stunning view of North America this evening.

Glacial melt and drifting ice released from Svalbard's Austfonna ice cap during an exceptionally warm Arctic summer @planet

It can can take a while looking back for a cloudless image of the Amazon, but the patience pays off @planet

Every tree, every forest, every quarter. We just launched our AI-powered Forest Carbon Monitoring product that measures changes to forest carbon and canopy across the globe at 3 meter resolution. This is the world’s first forest monitoring system offering insights at this
