Terra Atmos

Terra Atmos GmbH is a spin-off from the University of Innsbruck and a deep-tech company developing a digital twin of the land surface that captures the complex interactions between soil, surface, and atmosphere. Using a scientific model that combines satellite and weather data, we create a precise and dynamic representation of current land-atmosphere processes, including their drivers, feedbacks and impacts, from global to urban scales, with a spatial resolution of up to 0.5 metres. We provide surface process analysis, continuous monitoring and standardised, actionable insights into climate and environmental-relevant indicators, including: • Vegetation cover and urban greenery • Surface sealing and surface runoff-effective areas • Energy fluxes (latent, sensible, and substrate heat flux) • Surface thermal characteristics and dynamics • Surface induced cooling and warming effects • Land surface temperature • Evapotranspiration • Human thermal stress (UTCI - Universal Thermal Climate Index) • Drought and vegetation stress • Urban overheating Our technology supports a range of applications, including climate adaptation, sustainable urban development, environmental regulation and compliance, digital and green transformation, precision agriculture, as well as ESG and green finance. Our mission is to deliver continuous, scalable, and high-resolution surface process analysis and climate and environmental monitoring, empowering data-driven and scenario-based decisions that drive sustainable development and global resilience. By leveraging space-based technologies and scientific modelling, we aim to deepen humanity’s understanding of our planet’s dynamic systems and foster a future where space innovation serves life on Earth and beyond.
