Team & advisors

Built by people who have deployed the sensors.

Coastal Measures is led by an oceanographer who has run coastal radar and seafloor mapping programs and a software engineer with 25 years building cloud and embedded systems, backed by advisors in commercialization, partnerships, and strategic initiatives.

Why Coastal Measures

Field science and production software, in one team.

In the water

We design, deploy, and maintain coastal sensor networks, from harbor radar to water-quality sondes, for towns, agencies, and research institutions.

In the cloud

CUMULUS runs on AWS. Your data stays in open formats you own, and you can take it with you at any time.

Held to the physics

Forecast models go to production only when they beat the physics-only baseline on held-out data.
