Proven technology for extreme environments.
Weather radars, satellite groundstations, weather balloons and automated stations — designed, installed and supported by ESS Weathertech, with systems operating across Australia, Asia and the Antarctic.
From the rooftop to the Antarctic.
ESS Weathertech is an advanced technology company specialising in meteorology, hydrology, oceanography, atmospheric and fire weather — supplying government, defence, research, aviation and the private sector.
Headquartered in Melbourne, we design, manufacture, install and support weather satellite groundstations, radar systems, tidal monitoring, weather balloons and forecaster display systems — a major supplier to national weather bureaus, port authorities, airports and military across the region.
Everything between the ground and the satellite
Eight system families — from a pyranometer on a roof to a radar on the horizon and a dish tracking polar orbit.
S, C and X-band radar — and the software that reads it.
As regional partner for EEC, we deliver full radar programs: S-band for national networks, C-band for regional coverage, X-band and Ranger for gap-filling, wind shear systems for airports, and EDGE analysis software on top.
Tracking every pass, polar or geostationary.
Oberon-XL tracks polar-orbiting satellites; Telesto, Janus, HIMAWARIcast and eTelecast receive geostationary feeds — with Proteus analysis and display software turning every downlink into a forecast.
Built with the best in the field
Exclusive regional representation for the manufacturers behind the world's weather networks — and the ESS divisions we work beside.
The instruments, selling themselves.
Live conditions from the Weathertech AWS on the Richmond roof — the same station we install for bureaus, ports and airports.
