RadicalEcologist's Bio
I am an ecologist working on modeling critical zone systems focused around plant-microbe-soil interactions. I am also an anarchist, open source advocate, fantasy fiction enjoyer, philosophy obsessor, skill collector, privacy tin foil hat wearer, neurospicy, and other things. I keep my family and private life private but can talk for days on just about anything else. I am open to conversion, especially with folks near the great lakes.
Shatter the spectacles and recognize our ecology!

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 #weather 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.
