The agency has allocated $59.6 million over the next five years to use commercial satellite data to achieve superior weather forecasting and atmospheric research.
Key Points:
- The agency has allocated $59.6 million over the next five years to use commercial satellite data to achieve superior weather forecasting and atmospheric research.
- “By incorporating PlanetiQ’s commercial high quality GNSS-RO data, coupled with our deep understanding of RO technology, NOAA will have the information to significantly improve short and medium-range weather forecasts, and provide essential insights to enhance climate change research for the government, military and the private sector,” said PlanetiQ CEO Ira Scharf.
- PlanetiQ supplies GNSS-RO data to NOAA from its growing constellation of satellites, which has become a critical part of the global observing system.
- “PlanetiQ is extending the progression from COSMIC and COSMIC-2 satellite data with the highest SNR data to date, continuing this trend to higher quality, and detection of ducting, which occurs in about 30% of all GNSS-RO.”
