Our Mission
Our mission is to provide access to standardized ocean data from any sensor, private or public, all in one place to enable informed decision making.
About CUMULUS
Coastal Measures built CUMULUS so coastal agencies, utilities, and operators can collapse every radar, camera, buoy, and satellite feed into one governed workspace. Instead of chasing logins and bespoke schemas, teams log into a single pane that keeps provenance, permissions, and performance tuned for high-consequence decisions.
On top of that fabric, YSOK AI narrates what matters. Clean data streams flow directly into forecasting, alerting, and collaboration tools so scientists, program managers, and field crews get the same briefing. Less time wrangling formats means more time activating missions, proving compliance, and aligning stakeholders.
Hardware providers
OEMs and systems integrators embed CUMULUS so their sensors ship with a modern data layer. Deployment teams get turnkey ingestion, storage, and customer workspaces without building a new cloud stack for every contract, and upsell premium analytics the moment hardware goes live.
Data users
Analysts, port captains, insurers, and emergency planners log into curated mission spaces instead of wrangling spreadsheets. Fused streams, audit-ready exports, and YSOK AI narratives accelerate compliance, reporting, and field coordination.
Launch CUMULUS for your mission
Whether you manage municipal resilience programs, offshore energy corridors, or national-scale sensor fleets, we help you stand up governed data fabrics, live collaboration, and AI briefings in weeks—not years.
Ingest & govern
Connect HF radar, cameras, buoys, and public feeds with full provenance, retention, and access controls tailored to each stakeholder.
Collaborative workspaces
Role-specific dashboards, alerts, and exports keep scientists, operators, and civic leaders aligned around the same live picture.
YSOK AI activation
AI summaries, scenario planning, and mission checklists turn harmonized streams into actionable narratives you can brief in minutes.
API access built in
Every public feed and private workspace can be exposed through the CUMULUS API so developers, dashboards, and analytics notebooks stay in sync with live missions. Full metadata, provenance, and rate-limits are documented so you can automate downstream workflows confidently.
The Team
Josh Humberston (physical oceanographer) and Neil Schonwald (systems engineer) pair decades of met-ocean deployments with enterprise software rigor. Together with a bench of radar specialists, mission leads, and AI engineers, they keep CUMULUS rooted in real coastal operations while scaling like modern SaaS.
