Spire to provide ocean wind speed data to
enhance climate understanding and weather prediction
capabilities
Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (“Spire” or “the Company”), a
leading global provider of space-based data, analytics and space
services, today announced it was awarded a $2.8 million, 12-month
contract by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) for satellite weather data. The contract is part of NOAA's
Commercial Weather Data Pilot (CWDP) Ocean Surface Winds Pilot
Study, aimed at advancing the understanding of climate, weather and
oceanic conditions.
Spire will provide NOAA with Global Navigation Satellite System
Reflectometry (GNSS-R) observation data in near real-time,
primarily focusing on ocean surface wind speeds. This data will
enable NOAA to evaluate the quality and applicability of commercial
GNSS-R observations across various domains, such as refining
weather forecasting models and advancing climate research. The
initiative directly addresses the agency’s critical need for
precise global sea-surface wind measurements essential for
applications like marine weather forecasts, hurricane tracking,
ocean current analysis and climate studies.
"In today's world, the demand for precise weather information is
more critical than ever,” said Chuck Cash, vice president of
federal sales at Spire. “We are proud to partner with NOAA to
utilize our satellite technology and capabilities, enabling NOAA to
improve weather forecasts, advance climate research, and provide
cost-effective and regular monitoring of surface winds that
complements existing observation systems.”
The 12-month contract, commencing October 25, 2023, will consist
of three phases: Preparation, Data Delivery and Evaluation. In
addition to ocean surface wind analysis, the project will
investigate various GNSS-R applications, including land surface
flooding, freeze/thaw events, sea ice detection, and soil moisture
monitoring.
