Riverside Technology wins NOAA contract

FORT COLLINS — NOAA has selected Fort Collins-based Riverside Technology Inc. to be part of a team to support the administration’s efforts to provide accurate weather information to planners, emergency managers and other decision-makers.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration works to understand and predict changes in climate, weather and oceans. It is headquartered in Silver Springs, Md., and employs more than 1,000 researchers, engineers, forecasters and others at the David Skaggs Research Center in Boulder.

The amount of the contract, expected to run through 2017, was not disclosed. It calls for Riverside to take the lead and work with Centennial-based Integrity Applications Inc. in providing scientific, technical and management support to NOAA’s Technology, Planning and Integration for Observation program. The program manages the administration’s observation systems and includes planning and data analysis. Riverside, led by president and chief executive Larry Brazil, and Integrity Applications have been working with NOAA on this project since 2007, and Riverside has been awarded NOAA contracts for the past 25 years.
