Process

From weather question to decision-ready answer.

EKAS turns weather data, aerial evidence, field context, and professional meteorological judgment into clear deliverables for clients who need proof, perspective, and action.

Three Core Lanes

Weather intelligence, translated clearly.

Every project starts with discipline: define the question, gather reliable information, analyze the conditions, translate the findings, and deliver a usable product.

Meteorology consulting and operational support Consulting

Forecasting, planning, and operational weather support.

For events, businesses, field operations, WBGT monitoring, outdoor safety, and weather-sensitive decisions.

Forensic radar analysis Forensic

Past-weather reconstruction for claims and disputes.

For wind, hail, hurricane, flood, rainfall, tornado, lightning, construction-delay, and incident questions.

Aerial mapping and drone site documentation Aerial

Drone imagery, mapping-style visuals, and site documentation.

For roof documentation, site context, construction progress, real estate, storm damage, and aerial exhibits.

The EKAS Workflow

Five steps. Clean communication. No confusion.

This is the core workflow behind consulting, forensic, and aerial projects. The details change by service, but the structure keeps the project professional and easy to follow.

Step 1

Intake & fit check

Confirm the client goal, location, timeline, deliverable need, conflict concerns, and whether EKAS is the right fit.

Step 2

Scope & authorization

Define the service lane, expected deliverable, fee structure, schedule, data needs, and client responsibilities.

Step 3

Data, evidence, or mission planning

Collect weather records, radar, satellite, warnings, client materials, site evidence, or flight-planning information.

Step 4

Analysis & translation

Interpret the weather or site conditions and translate complex data into a clear, professional explanation.

Step 5

Review & delivery

Finalize the report, briefing, imagery package, exhibits, consultation, or monitoring summary for client use.

Service Workflows

Choose the lane that fits the project.

Each lane is organized around the client’s actual need: forecast guidance, forensic reconstruction, aerial evidence, or a combined weather-and-drone package.

Meteorology Consulting

Forecasting, planning, and operational support.

Useful for outdoor events, construction schedules, field work, sports, marathons, festivals, filming, heat safety, and operational weather decisions.

  • Site-specific forecast briefings
  • WBGT and heat-stress monitoring
  • Lightning, rain, wind, storm, and timing support
  • On-site meteorologist options for high-value events
Forensic Weather Analysis

Weather evidence for claims, litigation, and incident review.

Forensic meteorology reconstructs what happened at a specific place and time using official records, radar, satellite, surface observations, storm reports, warnings, and professional interpretation.

  • Storm Autopsy reports
  • Truth Package for disputed claims
  • Expert witness exhibits and annotated visuals
  • Wind, hail, hurricane, flood, rainfall, lightning, and slip/fall reconstruction
Aerial Documentation

Drone imagery that adds proof, context, and speed.

Aerial imagery helps document what is visible from above, while meteorology explains what the weather was doing before, during, and after the event.

  • Roof, exterior, and site documentation
  • Construction progress and weather-delay support
  • Drone-enhanced expert exhibits
  • Real estate, coastal, marina, solar, utilities, and storm-readiness packages
Translate weather clearly
The EKAS Advantage

Not just drone photos. Not just a forecast. Weather intelligence plus aerial evidence.

The rare value is the combination: a meteorologist who can interpret the atmosphere and a FAA Certified UAS Pilot who can document the site. Most drone pilots can show damage. EKAS can help explain whether the damage pattern makes meteorological sense.

Storm Autopsy

Aerial imagery combined with radar, warnings, MRMS, storm reports, wind direction, ASOS data, and satellite.

Event Weather Command

Forecasts, lightning/wind/heat monitoring, drone overwatch, and post-event documentation.

Weather + Drone Due Diligence

Flood, drainage, roof exposure, tree risk, coastal surge, wind vulnerability, erosion, and ponding context.

Disaster Documentation

Aerial damage maps, flood extent imagery, debris context, weather timelines, and recovery-support visuals.

Data, Evidence & Deliverables

Professional inputs. Clear outputs.

The right evidence depends on the project. EKAS organizes data sources, site information, weather graphics, and final deliverables into a usable client product.

NOAA NCEI

Official Records

NOAA/NCEI, NWS, radar, satellite, observations, storm reports, warnings, tides, rainfall, and climate records.

Watches warnings advisories

Operational Context

Watches, warnings, advisories, model guidance, surface analysis, storm timing, lightning, wind, heat, and WBGT.

Weather data chart

Analysis & Visualization

Charts, timelines, graphics, annotated maps, storm tracks, damage context, and weather-risk explanations.

Weather deliverable chart

Deliverables

Briefings, forensic reports, exhibits, aerial packages, storm safety audits, due diligence reports, and monitoring summaries.
