Winter ground movement at cold-climate airports.

Freeze–thaw cycles can lift and drop the ground. Satellites can watch the whole airport through the winter.

Nordic airport in winter

Built for Nordic and northern European winters.

In Finland and much of Europe, freeze–thaw, soft clay and coastal sites all affect airport ground. We hope to run a PoC at a cold-climate airport to check winter ground movement with local partners.

  • Radar works in polar night and through cloud
  • Surface temperature adds freeze–thaw context
  • Free Sentinel-1 data covers European airports regularly
  • Field comparison with local engineering partners

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does snow affect satellite measurements?

Snow can affect radar results in some areas. TOWER marks cells it cannot assess as unassessed rather than guessing.

Are you working with Nordic airports?

Not yet. We hope to discuss a PoC with a Finnish airport and partners after SLUSH 2026.

Work with us

Let’s run a PoC together.

We hope to start with public satellite data at your airport: no equipment, a screening report first, then field checks with your team.
