Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 19, 2024

Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) has entered into a strategic partnership with NVIDIA to push the boundaries of AI in weather forecasting. This collaboration will see the integration of Spire's Radio Occultation (RO) data and unique data assimilation (DA) capabilities with NVIDIA's Earth-2 Cloud APIs. The objective is to employ artificial intelligence to enhance the speed and accuracy of climate and weather predictions.

In an era where AI advancements are transforming weather prediction, Spire's satellite constellation, equipped with RO technology, provides unparalleled global coverage, capturing detailed vertical profiles of atmospheric conditions like temperature, pressure, and humidity. These are critical for under-observed and remote areas. By merging Spire's extensive dataset and DA analyses with NVIDIA's sophisticated AI technology, this initiative aims to introduce unprecedented accuracy in weather forecasting.

Michael Eilts, general manager of weather and climate at Spire, stated, "In a world facing dynamic climate changes and the increasing threat of extreme weather, the need for accurate forecasting is more critical than ever. By combining our comprehensive weather data with NVIDIA's AI expertise, we are poised to significantly enhance the precision of weather forecasts, enabling our clients to better anticipate and respond to the changing climate."

This partnership is set to produce advanced forecast products previously unattainable with traditional NWP models. Innovations include quick-updating global forecasts, extensive ensemble systems for understanding the full range of potential weather scenarios, and AI-based downscaling techniques for detailed local forecasts. These advancements will improve Spire's existing services, such as the DeepVision weather risk management platform, maritime navigation solutions, and renewable energy forecasting, offering customers across various industries improved forecast latency, extended prediction periods, and superior accuracy.

NVIDIA's Earth-2 platform brings together physical and neural network modeling with data management and visualization technologies. It aims to achieve rapid and scalable global atmospheric simulation, enhancing the predictive capabilities of climate models.

Spire's comprehensive weather and climate solution portfolio, highlighted by its High-Resolution Weather Forecasts and the DeepVision platform, provides invaluable insights across sectors including energy, logistics, utilities, and agriculture.
