\"NOAA<\/p>\n

Spire Global, a global provider of space-based data, analytics, and space services, has been awarded $9.4 million by the National Oceanographic and Oceanic Administration to provide radio occultation (RO) data for 8 months. The award is part of an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for NOAA\u2019s Commercial Weather Data Program’s Radio Occultation Data Buy II.<\/p>\n

The near-real-time RO data provided by Spire will be used for NOAA\u2019s operational weather forecasts, space weather models and climate research, among other applications. The Company\u2019s RO data consists of vertical profiles of atmospheric measurements, including pressure, humidity and temperature across all points of the globe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe increasing pace of extreme weather events is causing significant harm \u2013 impacting individuals, communities, businesses, and the economy at large,\u201d said Chuck Cash, vice president of federal sales, at Spire<\/strong>. \u201cThrough our long-standing relationship with NOAA, we are using space-based radio occultation measurements to address the critical need for accurate weather forecasts globally and help the world better prepare for and mitigate the impacts of extreme weather.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spire has provided data to the agency since 2016. Most recently, the Company was awarded a $2.8 million contract by NOAA in September to provide data on ocean surface wind speeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
