Leveraging open ocean weather data to improve sailing conditions
Learn more from our expert meteorologists about the challenges of collecting accurate weather forecasts in open ocean, why this is the case and how to solve them.
Join PredictWind and Spire Maritime for an in-depth look at how they use Spire’s radio occultation data to overcome the challenges of open-ocean sailing. We will also present how advanced weather data like significant wave height, current, and wind speeds are key to optimizing vessel performance and adapt sailing to sea conditions. PredictWind will also demo how Spire’s forecast model integrates into their application.
Wind forecast in open oceans: the PredictWind success story
PredictWind provides the sporting and leisure maritime community with high-quality forecasts. The company created two proprietary weather prediction models with resolutions as fine as one kilometer. It provides two alternative forecast models – ECMWF and GFS — for comparison. Spire’s model ranked #1 for both wind speed and direction.
