Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (the Company or Spire), a leading provider of space-based data, analytics and space services, today announced it has been awarded the next order to provide commercial radio occultation (RO) weather data for the National Oceanographic and Oceanic Administrations (NOAA) operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models.

Key Points: 
  • Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (the Company or Spire), a leading provider of space-based data, analytics and space services, today announced it has been awarded the next order to provide commercial radio occultation (RO) weather data for the National Oceanographic and Oceanic Administrations (NOAA) operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models.
  • The order represents the largest volume of commercial weather data purchased to date by NOAA under the Commercial Weather Data Buy Program.
  • The data provided by Spire will increase the volume of RO data available for assimilation into the national weather prediction models, improving the accuracy of those models and decreasing uncertainty in weather forecasting.
  • In addition, the data provided to NOAA by Spire will be made available to international meteorological organizations and the broader U.S. federal government upon receipt, enabling increased information sharing for critical weather data.
