EARTH NETWORKS WEATHER SEVERE MONITORING AND ALERTING

EARTH NETWORKS - WHAT WE DO We automate decisions to help global organizations mi mitigate financial, operational, and huma man risk by integrating env environm nment ental int ntel elligenc ence e into their operations. Powered by the world’s largest, most hyperlocal, proprietary data network 2

SEVERE WEATHER MONITORING SERVICES FOR OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS • Tr Transportation Risks: Automated alerting helps facilitate safe and efficient transportation operations to and from the oil rig • Fi Fire Prevention: As lightning can cause petroleum-related fires, identification of convective storms helps prevent these disasters • Of Off-Sh Shore St Staff and Operations: Notification services help keep workers and operations safer by providing alerts to off-shore for severe, highly convective storms approaching their area of operation 3

SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS BASED ON TOTAL LIGHTNING DETECTION TECHNOLOGY AND PATENTED NOWCASTING ALGORITHMS • Wideband: 1HZ to 12 MHZ • Use full waveforms in detection and IC/CG discrimination • Time of Arrival (TOA) method Waveforms from Intra-cloud (IC) pulses Waveforms from a return stroke (CG) 4

TOTAL LIGHTNING NETWORK PROVIDES INTELLIGENCE FOR CURRENT AND FORECASTED STORMS Wide-area total lightning detection at high efficiencies is critical for earlier identification, tracking & forecasting of dangerous weather, including: • Severe thunderstorms • Heavy/extreme rainfall • High winds and squalls • Hail storms • Microbursts and wind shear • Tornadoes • Flash Floods • Cloud-to-ground lightning 5
