Founder Background

Operational meteorology, forensic case work, broadcasting, teaching, and military weather support.

Eric Kasunich brings a rare combination of technical meteorology, public communication, forensic weather analysis, and field-ready aerial documentation.

Applied Meteorology

Graduate-trained weather analysis.

Eric holds a Master of Geoscience in Applied Meteorology from Mississippi State University, with graduate work involving tropical-storm intensity, sea-surface temperature, climatological analysis, GIS, statistics, and hurricane research.

Forensic Consulting

Weather reconstruction and litigation-style exhibits.

His forensic work includes weather data acquisition, radar and satellite interpretation, historical storm review, climate-model context, ArcGIS mapping, report graphics, case preparation, and weather-history analysis for legal and insurance matters.

U.S. Navy METOC

Military weather discipline.

As a Navy Aerographer’s Mate, Eric prepared real-time forecasts, supported flight-planning decisions, maintained ASOS and TMQ-53 observing systems, and provided atmospheric data for thousands of military flight and navigation missions.

Broadcast & Public Communication

Clear communication under pressure.

As a broadcast meteorologist, Eric interpreted forecast maps, warnings, watches, advisories, and model guidance for the public while covering high-impact weather, including hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Education & Leadership

Teaching, outreach, and professional service.

Eric has taught Earth Science at St. Petersburg College, presented hurricane preparedness information to community groups, and served in leadership with the West Central Florida AMS chapter.

Weather + Drone Advantage

Images with meteorological context.

EKAS is positioned around a higher-value deliverable: aerial documentation interpreted through a weather lens, connecting site imagery to storm timing, wind exposure, rainfall, flood context, tropical impacts, and claim questions.

Tampa Bay Based • Nationwide Remote Support

A meteorologist-led company built on science, service, and professional judgment.

EK Atmospheric Solutions is based in the Tampa Bay area and can support clients remotely across the country. The company brings together forensic meteorology, operational forecasting, Earth science education, broadcast communication, military weather discipline, and commercial UAS capability.

Forensic meteorology

Hundreds of storm analyses involving wind, hail, tornadoes, rainfall, flooding, hurricanes, and property damage questions.

Operational weather

Military METOC and aviation-weather background supporting time-sensitive decisions and mission planning.

Teaching and communication

Earth Science professor and former broadcast meteorologist who can explain complex weather clearly.

Professional standards

AMS member, former local chapter president, and in pursuit of the Certified Consulting Meteorologist credential.

Science, Ethics & Public Trust

Why the work matters.

Weather decisions affect safety, property, claims, litigation, operations, and public confidence. EKAS emphasizes clear methods, official data, transparent limitations, and professional communication.

Extreme-weather risk is costly

High-impact storms, floods, heat, and hurricanes create major financial and safety consequences for property owners, insurers, businesses, and communities.

Forensic weather reduces ambiguity

A disciplined reconstruction process helps answer what occurred at a specific place and time instead of relying on assumptions or broad regional summaries.

Ethics matter

Professional meteorology consulting depends on technical competence, objectivity, documentation, and a clear separation between evidence and speculation.

What EKAS Does

Three service lanes that work together.

Each service can stand on its own, or be combined when a project needs both weather analysis and visual documentation.

Meteorology Consulting

What weather consulting is.

Meteorology consulting helps clients understand weather conditions, risks, and timing in a practical way. It can support operations, properties, events, planning, and historical review.

  • Operational weather briefings
  • Historical weather summaries for a date or location
  • Outdoor event and project planning support
  • Weather risk interpretation for business or property decisions
  • Custom weather guidance and professional explanation of official data
Forensic Weather Analysis

What forensic weather consulting is.

Forensic weather consulting reconstructs the weather for a specific location and time. It helps answer what happened, when it happened, and how the weather may relate to damage, a loss, or a disputed event.

  • Hail, wind, tornado, rainfall, flood, and lightning review
  • Hurricane and tropical-weather analysis
  • Radar, satellite, observations, warnings, and storm-report interpretation
  • Claim screening, incident review, and property-loss context
  • Written summaries, report graphics, and professional deliverables
Aerial Documentation

What aerial documentation is — and why EKAS is different.

Aerial documentation uses FAA Part 107 drone imagery to capture roofs, property conditions, damage, access limitations, land features, and visual context. EKAS adds a meteorologist’s perspective to that imagery.

  • Roof and exterior condition imagery
  • Storm damage and property documentation
  • Commercial property, infrastructure, and site visuals
  • Real estate aerial media and listing imagery
  • Construction progress, land, and drainage context visuals

EKAS difference: this is not just “a guy with a drone.” The imagery can be paired with weather context, storm timing, exposure analysis, and a more technical understanding of what the site may have experienced.

How Projects Work

From first contact to final deliverable.

Every project begins with the question that matters most: what weather issue, site condition, claim, or operational need are we trying to understand?

1. Initial Contact

Share the date, location, property, project type, and what needs to be answered or documented.

2. Scope & Quote

Define the service lane, urgency, data needs, travel or flight needs, and expected deliverable.

3. Data Collection

Gather radar, satellite, observations, warnings, historical records, and/or aerial imagery.

4. Analysis

Interpret the weather, the property context, the imagery, and the relevant facts.

5. Deliverable

Provide a consultation, a summary, a report, an aerial package, or a combined documentation product.

About EKAS

A meteorology-first consulting company built for evidence, property, and decisions.

EK Atmospheric Solutions LLC combines meteorological analysis, forensic weather reconstruction, operational forecasting, and FAA Part 107 aerial documentation into a single professional service model.

Forensic Consulting

What forensic meteorology means

Forensic meteorology reconstructs past weather conditions for a specific location, date, and question. That can include wind, hail, rainfall, flooding, hurricane impacts, lightning, visibility, heat, marine/coastal conditions, and storm timing. The goal is to help clients understand what the weather record supports — and what it does not.

Weather Consulting

Decision support, not generic forecasts

Weather consulting helps clients plan and respond to weather-sensitive operations. That can include event weather, construction weather, field operations, heat/WBGT guidance, tropical monitoring, severe weather timing, and historical weather summaries for business or property decisions.

Aerial Documentation

How EKAS is different

Drone imagery is valuable, but the advantage of EKAS is the combination of FAA Part 107 aerial documentation and meteorological interpretation. The visual record can be paired with weather timing, storm context, site exposure, and professional reporting.
