Q : How can you provide accurate numerical long-range forecasts when some weather sites only claim that short to medium-range forecasts are possible? A : We liken this to the analogy of perhaps a group of different biomedical companies all in the pursuit of finding the cure to cancer. One of those companies is going to be further along in its research and development, and will be making more positive discoveries. AFC has taken a different approach to forecasting with greater success. We strongly believe long-range forecasting is possible, and we have the proven success and the satisfied clientele to back it up. If everyone thought that every road in science had a dead-end, there would be no progress in attaining any challenging set of goals. Simply put, AFC believes in Crossing New Thresholds®.
Q : What techniques, methods and calculations do you use to make your forecasts? A : We apply our own black-boxed technology including neural network toolboxes, artificial intelligence, genetic algorithms, innovative software programming, numerical simulation techniques and mathematical mapping just to name a few of the configurable elements. It is a very arduous process which culminates with a professional analysis. We feel it is very important to combine both computer and mind to achieve the best results.
