CLIMALYTIC
INSTRUMENTS, LLC
About us
We are a small, family owned and operated business in Colorado focused on the design, manufacturing and selling of scientific precipitation measurement instruments and accessories. As our name implies, we are innovating and designing instruments to encourage, standardize and improve the measurement of rain, snow, hail, sleet and ice to support climatological analytics. Our solutions bridge the gap between imprecise hardware store instrumentation and expensive, industrial-grade instrumentation. We also offer accessories to make precipitation measurement more fun, accurate and easy. Our products are designed by passionate hydrometeorologists who have decades of precipitation measurement and analysis experience. We know the immense value of observed precipitation data and believe it will always be valued even despite the technological advancements in radar and satellite-derived precipitation estimates. We have partnered with CoCoRaHS on the design, testing and development of the TROPO precipitation gauge.
Our Mission Statement
Empower customers with affordable, professional, user-friendly, and accurate measurement equipment to make accurate precipitation measurements for public safety, agriculture optimization, climate monitoring, engineering design, water supply planning, forensic matters, insurance claims and educational efforts.

Our team
Tye W. Parzybok, CCM
Tye Parzybok Sr has been an avid weather enthusiast since elementary school. His passion for the weather started while growing up along the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, where extreme, interesting and unusual weather is the norm. During high school, Tye volunteered at the Colorado Climate Center in Fort Collins, which marked the beginning of his successful meteorology career. As a teenager, he was a committed “weather watcher” for Denver TV stations, the National Weather Service, and private weather forecasting companies. After years of school in Arizona, Oregon and Utah, Tye landed in Corvallis, Oregon where in 1994 he established MetStat, Inc, a niche hydrometeorology company specializing in extreme precipitation analyses for large infrastructure, such as dams, mines and nuclear power plants. About this same time, during the very early days of CoCoRaHS, Tye became one of the first observers of the network and is still making his daily reports today! While in Oregon, Tye also worked for the Oregon Climate Service and engaged in the early stages of the PRISM project and helped teach online weather courses at Oregon State University. In 2004, Tye authored the book “Weather Extremes of the West.” After relocating backto Colorado, MetStat grew to a team of 12, utilizing precipitation data everyday to help customers make billion dollar decisions with respect to design, operation and safety. For eleven years, Tye was a contractor for NOAA’s National Weather Service and helped design and create the data for the Precipitation Frequency Data Server. After attaining his Certified Consulting Meteorologist credential from the American Meteorological Society, Tye engaged in numerous (20+) weather-related legal matters as a precipitation expert. After 25 years of business, DTN acquired MetStat in late 2019 which presented Tye the opportunity to work for one of the largest weather companies in the world as a precipitation subject matter expert. His passion for precipitation data, entrepreneurial spirit, and supportive family led him to start Climalytic Instruments, LLC as a side, family business in 2022.
