Praised for its accuracy and impact, RO data augments the accuracy of weather forecasts, supporting the many global organizations dedicated to public safety and the protection of life and property. These pillars of our infrastructure have been and will be a vital part of how we face daily weather challenges in an age of climate change. Spire is excited to be contributing to this global collaborative effort and remains dedicated to providing these organizations with new tools to develop and distribute ever more accurate weather forecasts.<\/p>\n<p>Spire\u2019s achievement of generating 5,000 Radio Occultation profiles daily represents the highest volume of RO data ever available for monitoring the Earth\u2019s weather. Radio Occultation is a pure source of weather data that provides detailed atmospheric metrics without the need for calibration. As such, it creates a valuable new addition to our extensive global observing system in space, which provides more accurate weather forecasts for land, sea, and air.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpire is working to create new tools to aid in this joint effort to illuminate the Earth,\u201d said Dr. Alexander \u201cSandy\u201d McDonald, Director of Spire Weather, \u201cWe are offering global organizations and in particular the national met centers like NOAA a way to vastly improve weather forecasts for public safety, that\u2019s a big part of our mission to provide the best-unbiased measure of climate available from satellites.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spire Global&nbsp;revealed that it is now collecting 5,000 Radio Occultation (RO) profiles per day, tripling the global availability of this data.
