It seems especially useful for cargo ships, with better predictions they could save some fuel and be safer.

Predict Wind has a sailing ship course auto router.
Wake me up once commercial airplanes can take advantage of this and take us across the Atlantic in less than 5 hours.
I don't mean to be disrespectful... but, why would you consider tech intended to save lives and resources less of a deal, than slightly faster flights over the Atlantic?
No disrespect taken :) It was (obviously) a joke, I'm not seriously waiting for us to hurl airplanes through cyclones to make air travel faster.
planes fly above the weather, so kinda irrelevant. you can cross the atlantic fast with something like the Concorde
Well, that explains why even cyclones don't make us faster!
Obviously the technology I'm talking about would involve the planes going into the cyclone so plane can go faster.
