Connect
Any sensor, any transport. Onboard what you already run, and Works With CUMULUS partner hardware fills the gaps. New sensor types integrate in as little as a day.
How connecting works →Coastal ocean intelligence
The coast is your greatest asset or your greatest risk. Measure it.
CUMULUS™ connects the sensors you already have, adds coverage where it’s missing, and turns everything into forecasts and alerts anchored to physical baselines. You own the record.
Industries
Built for the teams who work the coast.
Ports, towns, growers, and risk teams need the same coastal record. See how each one uses CUMULUS →
Ports & Harbors
Vessel traffic, wind, water level and waves in one operating picture.
Coastal Resilience
Flooding, overtopping and erosion drivers, tracked as they develop.
Aquaculture
Water quality, gear stress and advisories for growers and recreation leads.
Insurance
The measured record behind a coastal asset, beside the flood zones you already use.
By the numbers
The coast, measured continuously.
1M+
observations ingested every day
12,000+
stations and sensors connected
Tens of millions
observations stored and queryable
The platform
Connect, standardize, operationalize.
02
Standardize
Every reading lands in one place, in consistent units, checked on arrival and ready to look at or download. The record stays yours.
How your data is stored →03
Operationalize
Forecasts, alerts, and reports built on those readings, with the data and uncertainty behind every result.
How the analytics work →Operationalize
Analytics anchored to physical baselines.
Analytics with full traceability and stated uncertainty. YSOK, the in-platform analyst, works directly on your CUMULUS data alongside NOAA ERDDAP and Landsat to produce automated reports.
- Answers in plain language, with the data and thresholds behind every finding.
- Delivers reports through dashboards, alerts, and exports.
- Works across ports, coastal towns, and research programs.
Example
You
“When did onshore wind and heavy rain line up with high water this season?”
YSOK: I compared wind direction, rainfall, and water level against your flood thresholds and found three periods to review. Each includes the map layers, thresholds exceeded, and a summary you can share.
End to end
Design it, deploy it, and keep it.
Most teams do not need another dashboard. They need someone to work out what to measure, put the hardware in the water, and leave behind something that keeps working.
-
Design the network
Start with the free planner: map your site, place candidate sensors, and see what each one would tell you.
Open the network planner → -
Refine it with a coastal scientist
Our PhD coastal scientists review the plan, close the gaps, and size the network to the questions you actually need answered.
-
Coordinate the deployment
We coordinate installation with our partners, and keep the network running through the seasons that matter.
-
Keep the record
Everything lands in CUMULUS, which becomes the lasting digital asset the programme leaves behind. The record stays yours.
Case study · South Shore, Massachusetts
Two coastal towns, one shared picture of the shoreline.
Plymouth and Marshfield have worked with Coastal Measures to deploy multi-modal sensor networks — wind, water level, waves, water quality, nearshore currents, and X-band radar — streamed into CUMULUS so town staff can see flooding, overtopping, and erosion drivers as they develop. The data trail is designed to support resilience planning and grant reporting.
All 10 sensors live.
“The more data we have to support emergency management, that’s the best place we can be in.”
Aquaculture · Little Bay, New Hampshire
“I think it’s really important to have this data because each farm is so special and unique.”
