Exponential Space Technology: Getting Weather Right
summary
Claims a fleet of nano-satellites delivers a step-change in short-term forecasting by providing up to 100× more critical weather data where ground sensors are sparse, filling a gap as traditional instruments decline. Uses small, bottle-sized CubeSats in constellation, commercial data pipeline, and high-cadence observations to track every ship every few minutes (covering roughly $18 trillion of trade) and aims to cut multi-billion dollar losses from piracy and improve warning lead times beyond the current one-day-per-decade improvement rate.
