This fresh solution from Spire offers precise and customizable weather forecasts that extend up to six days, with the unique ability to operate at resolutions as fine as 1 kilometer. This remarkable capability covers every point on the globe, encompassing even the most isolated regions and vast open oceans.
The genesis of this novel forecast model is seven years of dedicated research and development by Spire's skilled team of scientists and engineers. Central to this development is the Company's proprietary radio occultation (RO) technology, which is complemented by comprehensive ocean wind and soil moisture data. This blend of unique data is assimilated to deliver accurate predictions at fine scales, looking up to six days into the future.
Spire's High-Resolution Weather Forecast is not just a technological marvel; it is a crucial tool for various industry professionals. Energy traders, commodity traders, utilities, and grid operators are among those who will benefit immensely. With this tool, they can anticipate how weather influences market trends, price dynamics, and the balance between energy supply and demand.
Michael Eilts, General Manager of Weather and Earth Intelligence at Spire, emphasizes the significance of this development. "In an industry where volatile weather patterns directly impact commodity and energy prices, accurate weather prediction tools are crucial for risk management, optimizing investments, and achieving a balance between energy production and consumption," he explains. Eilts further adds, "Our regional high-resolution weather forecasts provide the essential insights needed to make informed decisions and stay ahead of the markets."
