Overview

Sorcerer runs a global network of persistent high-altitude weather balloons that collect in-situ atmospheric data from sea level up to 65,000 feet for six months or longer, focusing on data-poor regions like oceans and the Southern Hemisphere. The data feeds proprietary AI models that generate weather forecasts, with a high-resolution product called Stratocast tailored for airborne operations. It differentiates itself by deploying long-duration, large-scale balloon sensors that deliver far more data per dollar and improve coverage in underserved areas. The company aims to improve global weather understanding and forecast accuracy, helping meteorologists track and predict extreme weather.
