Hey, so, we all know weather is going to get more dangerous over the next few years. Also, the USA weather services are probably not going to be operating at their best (to be optimistic). I know there are other sources, but the whole of the world society feels like it is on the edge of darkness. So...
Proposal/question: using the plethora of easily accessible data, compute, and brilliant people; how could we form a federated and decentralized weather service?

I imagine it would require some standardized protocols and modeling teams. Similar things do exist for other areas of research. However, I am an ecological modeler and know very little relevant information beyond using climate models. I am not completely sure what is needed for weather. Thoughts or ideas? Or is anyone even interested in this?

A back of the napkin model for distributed, independent system.

1. Sensor net.
Using simple IoT Raspberry pi style "weather stations".
Or maybe even phones to provide secondary (temperature only) data.
Old school weather forecasting relied on a network of sensor remote weather stations read and telephoned in by ordinary folks.

2. Simplified, distributed computing forecasting models. Initially limited to short range (less computationally intensive) models.

3. $Weathercoin crypto. WAIT!
HOLD THE PITCHFORKS!
A Blockchain accounting for folks setting up resources to compute the models.
You "mine" the coin by using clock-cycles to compute the models.

Undead Network is direct action. Even in the digital world, autonomy is possible. NO MASTER - NO SLAVE.

Hi all, Roel he/him.

An artist and designer with an interest in computer networks, materiality of the internet, digital community infrastructure, DIY/DIWO approaches, FOSS culture.

You might know my work from the LowTech Mag's solar powered server project solar.lowtechmagazine.com

Currently pursuing a in Interaction and Participatory at MalmΓΆ University. As part of that research I work together with actors in the cultural sector to co-design alternative social media infrastructures with/for them. These are mostly based on fediverse applications, so I am also interested in aspects of and more generally how to transition to and improve alternatives together etc. This space is far from perfect and in some cases insufficient but we need to start somewhere??

I'm a founding member of varia.zone, and also part of lurk.org. With LURK we've been running a fediverse instance called post.lurk.org since 2018, for which I am happy to be one of the co-admins! As part of that I boost , calls and questions..

:drake_like: This is introduction is really long because post.lurk.org has a character limit of 1337
