Since the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017, Congress is requiring NOAA to start acquiring data via commercial partnerships.

NOAA has already made some contracts with Spire [1] and Saildrone [2]. I am sure there are more but these are the ones most familiar to me.

Your weather data broker startup sounds very interesting!
