Forensic Discovery and Expert Testimony by Highly Experienced  Expert

Meteorologists and Climatologists, as well as Other Scientific Experts

 

American Weather & Hydrology, LLC  offers forensic meteorological and climatological discovery, documentation, and investigation of recent and historical weather events, air quality episodes, sunrise / sunset, sun glare, twilight, moonlight, and light levels. 

Our services range from simple compilation of local weather data to comprehensive analysis of complex hydrometeorological phenomena, including pinpoint interpolation of weather conditions to specific locations, detailed mapping and graphing of weather data, and expert weather data analysis -- as well as comparison to historical averages, frequency analysis, and reconstruction -- leading to expert testimony in depositions and court trials.   

Our rates are reasonable and competitive.

Dr. Charles B. Pyke, Forensic Meteorologist and Climatologist, is the Principal Scientist and Primary Expert Witness of  American Weather & Hydrology, LLC.   He is highly familiar with weather, sunrise, sunset, moon phase, and other meteorological and astronomical phenomena all over North America.  He and most of our other meteorologists and climatologists accept forensic cases anywhere in the United States and Canada, and will testify in any jurisdiction therein.
