Clinton Alden Consulting

Make better use of weather, snow, and water data.

I help businesses and organizations understand environmental data so they can deliver high-quality products to their clients and make informed decisions.

Where I can help

Practical technical support for projects with environmental data.

Data Analysis and Guidance

Evaluate the quality, limitations, and appropriate use of meteorological and hydrologic datasets. I can help turn a complicated data question into an analysis that is fit for the decision at hand.

Weather and Mountain Environments

Bring focused experience in mountain hydrology, snowpack dynamics, atmospheric rivers, satellite remote sensing, and operational weather forecasting to projects in the Western United States.

Clear Technical Communication

Translate environmental science for clients, partners, and public audiences through concise technical material, dashboards, forecast discussions, and science education.

A research foundation with practical range

My work connects atmospheric science, hydrology, and the mountain environments where weather and water data are especially consequential. I am a PhD researcher in the University of Washington's Mountain Hydrology Research Group, with degrees in Atmospheric Science and Civil Engineering/Hydrology.

I have forecast winter weather and mountain meteorology for public recreationists and water-resource applications; researched atmospheric rivers and satellite observations at the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes; and built automated weather-model visualizations and real-time dashboards.

Useful when you need

  • A second set of eyes on an environmental dataset or method
  • Mountain weather forecasts tailored to your application/trip
  • Technical work communicated clearly to a non-specialist audience

Start with the question

A short description of the project, decision, or dataset is enough to begin a conversation.
