MeteoWeather is the leading climate technology company in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), specializing in weather intelligence and climate security services. Climavision, a weather technology company that uses high-resolution radar in the United States and satellites to fill coverage gaps, announced today that it has partnered with MeteoWeather. Under the terms of the agreement, the two firms will engage in marketing and sales efforts with Middle Eastern airports and aviation companies.
Specific emphasis will be placed on giving access to Climavision’s Global Radio-Occultation and Observation (GRO) prediction model, which is tuned to produce data on all 128 vertical levels (versus the reduced resolution output of other global models, which can be as few as 40 levels). The GRO model considerably increases fuel performance, safety, and efficiency for daily aircraft operations and allows seamless connection with the Flight Management System of business aviation and airlines (FMS).
MeteoWeather will have access to Climavision’s worldwide and regional prediction models, as well as its aviation-specific modeling capabilities. MeteoWeather’s many strong relationships within the aviation community in the region will ensure that these solutions are available to airlines and airports in the Middle East, which is experiencing a period of rapid growth due to the construction of new airports and infrastructure as part of Vision 2030 in Saudi Arabia.
“Climavision is mindful that sustainability and efforts to hit net zero emissions are top priorities for the aviation industry,” said Chris Goode, CEO, Climavision. “Cutting-edge weather tech solutions like our aviation-specific GRO Forecast Model will help the Middle Eastern aviation community to be significantly better positioned in this area. This will allow airlines and business aviation companies to use our joint solutions to achieve more accurate flight plans, optimize their fuel burn and reduce C02 emissions, and help promote sustainability.”
“The Middle East is now a major player in climate change initiatives and policies,” said Mohammed Al Shaker, CEO of MeteoWeather. “Saudi Arabia has launched initiatives such as the Saudi and Middle East Green initiatives and we are excited to partner with Climavision to bring decarbonization and climate offerings to the aviation industry in the region. MeteoWeather is always developing and enhancing intelligent climate systems that enhance climate safety for enterprises, including airports and airlines, in their efforts to adapt to the climate.”
Utilizing its unique high-resolution network of radars and global prediction models injected with fresh satellite-based data, Climavision is well-positioned to be a major disruptor in its efforts to improve aviation weather throughout the world.
