Global shipping depends on quality weather reports. Every single ship and plane (cars, trucks and trains too but y'know) needs accurate weather data very often to be on time. That's not to talk about agriculture or the people monitoring hurricanes to give evacuation orders.
Weather/Climate modelling is very complicated and complex, it is chaotic, if you want to look that up. That means we need a lot of precise and specific (or seemingly esoteric, like coronal mass ejections or CO2 concentration) data to have it. That's hard to do and you need costly equipment at remote locations, like Mauna Loa.

It's not for nerds.
