Who are we?

Founded in 2003, Meteodyn is an international company specializing in digital wind engineering, climatology, and meteorology.

For the past 20 years, we have been supporting and guiding our clients in building a sustainable, cleaner, and safer future.

Initially focused on the development of wind flow modeling software, we now offer 7 software solutions and a wide range of more than 20 services dedicated to renewable energy, buildings, transportation, power grids, and climate change adaptation.

In 2021, we joined the CLS Group, with over 900 employees in 30 locations worldwide, strengthening our international presence.

Our expertise and technologies

If our simulations, forecasts, and projections are so accurate, it is because we have mastered a variety of cutting-edge technologies:

CFD: Simulations based on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) take into account environmental effects such as topography, obstacles, and structures at all scales. This technology allows us to adapt the modeling to any type of terrain, even complex ones (mountainous, forested, urban, etc.).

Artificial Intelligence: AI and machine learning, combined with physical modeling and weather forecasting, allow us to provide high-performance forecasts. Meteodyn has developed its own artificial neural networks, with algorithms that incorporate variations to address the specificities of our different business sectors.

Mesoscale-Microscale Coupling: This technology allows accurate assessment and modeling of wind characteristics on large sites. It represents local wind-climate features while including regional effects. Our coupling model WRF-MeteodynWT (RANS) achieved a wind speed bias of less than 1% (-0.55%) in the ALEX17 benchmark, in less than 2 hours of computation.

Secured public routes and infrastructures

Modeling wind and climate variables provides significant benefits to the port and rail transportation sectors, as well as the high-voltage power grid sector.

By providing an accurate understanding of meteorological conditions, it makes it possible to anticipate and minimize the risks associated with high winds, storms, and extreme weather conditions.

Our customized software and services ensure the wind safety of ships and trains and contribute to the stability of the high-voltage power grid.

Prediction and local adaptation to climate risks

Climate change is now a tangible reality within territories, as evidenced by extreme weather events in recent years (floods, heat waves, droughts, wildfires, etc.). These phenomena have a significant impact on critical issues such as water resources, crops, biodiversity, and human quality of life.

To ensure resilience in the face of climate change, territories need to transform. Based on the IPCC's RCP/SSP climate scenarios, we offer a range of solutions to support local authorities and other territorial stakeholders in identifying local climate change risks and defining mitigation and adaptation measures.
