A private weather technology company, Weatherstem, provides high-tech weather stations that have helped to collect and share critical weather data across the United States and the Caribbean. One weather station is already operating on St. Croix, and a possible Caribbean expansion could improve weather monitoring and assist with disaster preparedness.
In an exclusive video interview with the VI Source, Edward Mansouri, a meteorologist, engineer, and the CEO of Weatherstem, provided the Source with details about the company, its mission, and how the meteorological and atmospheric data it gathers could benefit the U.S. Virgin Islands community.
