Business Wire
Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (“Spire” or “the Company”), a
global provider of space-based data, analytics and space services,
has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to advance AI-driven
weather prediction. Through this collaboration, Spire’s Radio
Occultation (RO) data and proprietary data assimilation (DA)
capabilities will be integrated with NVIDIA Earth-2 Cloud APIs to
leverage AI to accelerate climate and weather predictions.
The field of weather prediction is changing rapidly due to
advances in AI. Spire’s multipurpose constellation of satellites,
utilizing RO technology, offers unmatched global coverage of
precise vertical profiles of temperature, pressure, and humidity
across the globe, including under-observed areas and remote
regions. By combining this dataset and Spire’s proprietary DA
analyses with NVIDIA's advanced AI platforms and APIs, this
collaboration aims to usher in a new era of accuracy in weather
forecasting.
“As our world grapples with dynamic shifts in climate,
anticipating and mitigating the impact of extreme-weather events
poses escalating challenges for companies, individuals, and
communities,” said Michael Eilts, general manager of weather and
climate at Spire. “Aligning Spire’s proprietary data and unmatched
global weather coverage with NVIDIA’s cutting-edge technology and
expertise positions us to markedly elevate the accuracy of weather
prediction. This collaboration will help ensure our customers are
not just informed but empowered to proactively address the evolving
climate landscape.”
Through this collaboration, Spire aims to deliver differentiated
forecast products that are computationally infeasible using
traditional NWP models. This includes rapidly updating global
forecasts extending into the sub-seasonal timeframe, large ensemble
systems capturing the entire range of possible weather outcomes,
and generative AI downscaling models resolving fine forecast
details over local areas. These capabilities will enhance Spire’s
core products, such as the DeepVision™ weather risk mitigation
platform, maritime route optimization, and renewable energy power
forecasts. The Company will provide its customers in various
sectors, including energy, commodity hedging and trading, maritime,
aviation, supply-chain, insurance, transportation, defense and
more, with lower latency, extended lead times and heightened
forecast accuracy.
The NVIDIA Earth-2 platform includes the physical simulation of
numerical models like ICON and IFS; neural network models such as
FourCastNet, GraphCast, and Deep Learning Weather Prediction
through the NVIDIA Modulus framework; and data federation and
visualization with NVIDIA Omniverse technologies. Earth-2 aims to
provide a path to simulate and visualize the global atmosphere at
unprecedented speed and scale.
Spire’s suite of weather and climate solutions, including its
recently launched High-Resolution Weather Forecasts, DeepVision™
platform, global weather forecasts, proprietary data sources like
ocean winds and soil moisture, and additional atmospheric weather
datasets, aims to serve customers across various industries,
including energy, logistics, utilities, agriculture and more. Learn
