We recently returned from CMHE in Chengdu, and it was great to connect with the global meteorological community. Our sales rep, Thitipong Chindavijak, made the trip from Thailand to represent Young on the ground, and among our demonstrations, the ResponseONE-Pro generated the strongest customer interest. A reflection of how much the market values instrumentation that's built for the most demanding environments. We're energized by the conversations we had and the relationships we continue to build worldwide.

Snow depth measurement is a well-established problem with two dominant sensing technologies: ultrasonic and LiDAR. Under calm conditions, both produce reliable data. The distinction becomes operationally significant during active precipitation, precisely when accurate snow depth data has the highest value.

Our latest blog post breaks down how each technology works, where ultrasonic sensing fails under storm conditions and why, and what that difference means for networks where real-time data during an event is operationally critical.



And if you don't feel like reading, watch a clip from our latest webinar, where Engineering Manager Conor Byrne walks through how LiDAR works and what sets it apart from ultrasonic technology

Recently, our Marketing Manager, Samantha Peterson, had the joy of traveling across Iceland, and she couldn't go anywhere without spotting a familiar face.

Amidst the mountains, glaciers, volcanic ash, black sand beaches, and lava fields, she discovered dozens of weather stations featuring our Wind Monitor. In Iceland, wind isn't just an inconvenience—it can rip car doors off their hinges, create impassable snow drifts, and shut down entire roads in minutes. The data these stations collect is critical to keeping residents safe across the land of fire and ice.

That data has to be right. Every time. This is a beautiful and powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

A huge congratulations to Storm Chaser Jordan Hall for winning our Wind Monitor giveaway at Josh Morgerman - iCyclone's hurricane party! We're so excited to see what you do with it!

We had an absolute blast ringing in the 2026 hurricane season at Josh Morgerman - iCyclone's annual hurricane party at his famous Hurricane House. We got to hang out with storm chasers (shoutout to Alex Garcia, Robert Speta, Storm Chaser Jordan Hall!), show off our weather station, and yes—we even survived the torrential downpour that left the tent a bit more than a little flooded. 😅

This wasn't about celebrating hurricanes, though. It was about awareness, safety, and the cool tech that helps predict and measure them. We always love this event and can't wait for next year.

Thank you so much for having us, Josh—your support means a lot!

This is a great breakdown of how anemometers work along with a little history behind the technology. Thank you, Meteorologist Cyrena Arnold, for your incredible support and for educating our next generation of meteorologists!

We're honored to be part of something truly remarkable.

Dr. Baker Perry and his team built a weather station network on Aconcagua—the highest mountain in the Americas—at 23,000 feet, with no supplemental oxygen and winds topping 100 mph. The data they're collecting is advancing our understanding of climate change, high-elevation weather, and the water resources millions of people depend on.

We just published a full case study, including new updates, on the Wayra project, plus an exclusive video interview with Dr. Perry discussing this and the Mount Everest project.

This one is absolutely worth the read and watch: https://www.youngusa.com/blog/measuring-the-unmeasurable-at-the-top-of-the-americas/
