GPS-RO (GNSS Radio Occultation) Data

Organisations need accurate, global atmospheric profiles to improve forecasts, manage operational risk, and optimise weather-sensitive operations, but traditional observing systems leave gaps over oceans and remote regions. PlanetiQ delivers operational GPS‑RO (GNSS‑Radio Occultation) data from a growing satellite constellation plus AI‑driven analytics to provide low-latency, high signal‑to‑noise atmospheric profiles that improve model inputs and operational decision‑making.

Key capabilities:

• High‑quality GNSS‑RO profiles: Precise vertical temperature, pressure, humidity and ionospheric measurements derived from occultations from all four GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) at 100‑metre vertical resolution.
• Low‑latency delivery: Over 50,000 soundings per day with average latency under 3 minutes — designed for operational weather and mission needs.
• AI‑driven insights: Forecast enhancement and model assimilation guidance that turn profiles into actionable forecasting improvements.
• Flexible delivery: Data feeds, APIs and netCDF-format integrations for embedding into customer numerical weather prediction models and operational systems.
• Custom products & support: Tailored data packages, historical archives (4+ years), and customer support for government, defence and commercial workflows.

PlanetiQ's Pyxis RO sensor delivers a signal-to-noise ratio over seven times higher than competing commercial sources (1,500 V/V vs. 200 V/V), enabling superior deep-troposphere penetration rated best-in-class by NASA's CSDA programme. Proven uptake includes NOAA's largest-ever satellite weather data contract ($24.3 million) and use by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and international weather agencies.
