The plans come amid an increasingly dynamic weather intelligence market, where improvements in satellite data collection are creating new opportunities for businesses. Filling in the gaps will allow Climavision to do that and really improve forecasting abilities by virtue of that.”Ī lot of the coverage gaps it aims to fill are in rural areas, where it sees a lot of demand from agricultural and renewable energy businesses for improved weather forecasting services. “And that’s where these gaps come into play because we’re not characterizing the current state of the atmosphere in any kind of complete way. “The key to producing accurate forecasts is actually understanding the current state of the atmosphere,” he said. He added that building out its own network, rather than relying on publicly available government data like other businesses in this market, will improve the quality of its services. “They are actually scaling their network as we are on the ground with our terrestrial network so it’s a well-aligned partnership,” Goode said. GeoOptics has three satellites in its operational fleet, which it is looking to expand as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration seeks more of its radio occultation sounding data. It also has an exclusive agreement to use Pasadena, California-based GeoOptics’ radio occultation satellites to improve the accuracy of its forecasts for agriculture, insurance, renewable energy and other markets.
