Global coverage
Weather is observed throughout the whole atmosphere of the entire planet. Weather events are observed across the globe as they are forming, including at high altitudes, providing a unique capability to predict the weather in open oceans.
More reliable weather forecast
Spire's unrivalled radio occultation technology powers Spire's weather model. By frequently launching more satellites, Spire collects more radio occultations and continuously improves weather forecasts over oceans.
Plug and play technology
Modern APIs are designed for ease of use and integration into existing workflows. We offer outstanding support to help you easily ingest our data and build apps quickly.
How does it work?
Spire’s weather forecasts are unique because of our proprietary radio occultation data. Our satellites can measure temperature, pressure and humidity over 10,000 times per day worldwide. Continuous scan of the atmosphere creates a unique unbiased global weather observation dataset.
"The Spire Weather Forecast excels for open ocean weather forecast accuracy. The level of development and speed of innovation that Spire is putting into its models continues to impress us."
“Weather routing has the potential to drive greater efficiency and emissions reduction as open-ocean conditions greatly impact performance. Partnering with Spire puts genuinely market‑leading data into the hands of more users allowing them to enhance vessel performance."
