About
Graematter Solutions helps you visualize, explore and understand your data needs.
We work in the overlapping fields of physical sciences: meteorology, oceanography and big data.
For 20 years Graeme Rae PhD has developed or been involved with almost every aspect of the technology behind the world’s most trusted ocean forecast services. Surfinfo, Surfline, Buoyweather, Fishtrack. Rae has developed and published nearshore models capable of predicting surf conditions worldwide, overseen the application of high resolution wind models, and applied a number of unique algorithms that combine advanced physics modeling with the minute by minute needs of the consumer. Some key, unique systems include:
- Model Governors preventing long range instability in wave models.
- A latitide/longitude based tidal prediction system with unparalled accuracy.
- Patentable systems for generating human like forecasts from numeric ocean conditions.
Core Competencies
Information Systems, Distributed Networks and Cloud Systems
Graeme has decades of experience working with data stored on shared and distributed systems, including the most modern applications of cloud computing including EC2, S3, SQS.
Dynamic Large Scale Data Sets, Large Scale Data Management
Weather data is the original “big data”. Since 1999, Graematter has handled Petabytes of data as it travels through pipelines from producer- governments, satellites, sensors to user – scientists, businesses, consumers.
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Image Streaming and Processing
Extensive experience in AI and ML – including work in neural computing and fuzzy systems means that problems that cannot typically tackled by more traditional means can be solved by novel, creative and successful means.
Simulation/Modeling of Ocean Processes, Data Validation/Verification, Geospatial Data, Nearshore Modeling of Ocean processes
The core of Surfline, Buoyweather and Fishtrack has always been 1) good models and 2) good validation. This aspect of the worlds most trusted surf and marine forecasting service has been Graeme’s concern for over a decade.
Tidal Prediction
Since 1995 Graematter Consulting has produced high quality tidal predictions for locations typically unavailable using standard tide software and solutions. This proprietary technique is unique in its capability to produce tides and any latitude and longitude.
