What does it take to monitor weather at nearly 23,000 feet? No supplemental oxygen. A narrow installation window. No second chances if something goes wrong.

R.M. Young Company instruments are at the center of the Wayra project on Aconcagua, where a five-station network is capturing critical atmospheric data to improve water resource forecasting for millions of people downstream in Argentina and Chile.

Our own Samantha Peterson had the honor of sitting down with Baker Perry, Professor of Climatology and Nevada State Climatologist at the University of Nevada, Reno to share his story, published in the April 2026 issue of Meteorological Technology International.

Only 2 days left!

This Thursday is the day! We are so excited to host our SNOdar Technical Deep Dive Webinar on May 28th and we hope you can make it.

We'll walk through how SNOdar works, what's changed in the re-engineered release, and how it fits into a range of snow depth monitoring applications. And if you have technical questions, this is your best opportunity to get them answered directly. Conor Byrne, the R.M. Young engineer who led the SNOdar redesign, will be on the call and available to answer questions firsthand.


Date: May 28, 2026
Time: 1:00 - 2:00 PM Eastern
Cost: Free

Spots are limited, so if you haven't registered yet, now is the time.

Can't make it live? Register anyway and we'll send you the recording: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4577543338864025696

Memorial Day is a reminder of the profound cost of the freedoms we often take for granted. To those who served and did not return—thank you. We remember you today and always. Wishing a meaningful Memorial Day to our team, customers, and communities around the world.

We are proud to officially introduce the new, re-engineered SNOdar!

After listening carefully to feedback from the field and dedicating serious engineering resources to make meaningful, impactful improvements, the SNOdar snow depth sensor is officially relaunching today, and it is better than ever.

SNOdar uses LIDAR technology to deliver real-time, accurate snow depth measurements even during active snowfall, when conventional sensors struggle most. It is compact enough to hold in one hand, runs on an average of 0.5 watts, stores a full season of data internally, and configures from a free iOS or Android app in just minutes. No cable. No separate logger. No specialist required.

We put a lot of work into this one, and we think it shows. We're proud to put the R.M. Young name on it, and we're excited for you to experience it firsthand!

Accurate snow depth data is a critical input for a wide range of industries, from avalanche forecasting and SNOTEL monitoring to DOT road management, ski resort operations, and scientific research. Getting that data reliably, especially during active storm events, has long presented a technical chal...

Reliable data starts with a properly calibrated instrument.

We calibrate every Wind Monitor before it ships, and in our latest blog post, we show you exactly how. From potentiometer testing to magnetic induction, plus how to verify accuracy in the field and when to bring a sensor back for a deeper check.

A couple weeks ago, some of our team had the incredible opportunity to visit Mount Washington Observatory, a valued partner in meteorological innovation and a place where our instruments truly earn their keep.

They toured the facility, summited the mountain, and witnessed firsthand what it looks like when our sensors are pushed to their absolute limits. Mount Washington is famously home to some of the worst weather on Earth, and seeing our instruments perform reliably in those conditions was nothing short of remarkable. There's no classroom, no lab, and no test bench quite like the summit of Mount Washington.

During the visit, they also celebrated Big Wind Day, marking the 92nd anniversary of the Observatory's legendary 231 mph world record wind gust, a fitting backdrop for a day we won't soon forget.

To the entire Mount Washington Observatory team: thank you. Thank you for the warm welcome, for your years of partnership, and for the vital work you do advancing our understanding of extreme weather. We're proud to be by your side at the top of the world. 🏔️

Reed Timmer Extreme Meteorologist really put our Wind Monitor to the test in the Oklahoma tornado this week! Look at that beauty fly! We couldn't have asked for a better (or more terrifying) product demo. 😅

Our CNC Machine is hard at work prepping an injection mold that will be use to manufacture new and improved filter removal tools for our ResponseONE-Pro! We're pretty pumped to see the finished product—stay tuned!!

Shoutout to our brilliant tool builder, Mark Knauss, who makes this all possible!

Uh oh... looks like Reed Timmer Extreme Meteorologist needs a new Wind Monitor! Hey Reed, we'll trade ya! 😉

From the classroom to the rooftop.

At the The University of Utah, students aren’t just learning about weather. They’re installing and working with R.M. Young weather stations themselves. Each year, these stations are set up and taken down by students, giving them real, hands-on experience with the same instrumentation used in the field.

One station remains up year-round, capturing data through every season and supporting ongoing research.

Real data. Real experience. Real preparation for our next generation of meteorologists. And we couldn't be more proud to be a part of it!
