View the 2020 Nowcast

On 6 September 2020, on the occasion of Our Networks festival, open-weather collaborators and extended networks co-produced a firs global ‘nowcast’. In response to an open call, thirteen DIY satellite ground station operators submitted satellite images and field notes to the open-weather archive. Using a guide for creating wide area composite images in WXtoImg written by Carl Reinemann, open-weather processed, decoded and map projected the images.

The nowcast was published on the open-weather site and shared in a presentation at Our Networks.

▴ Screenshots from the nowcast show a patchy earth image, textured by the radio frequency noise of the ground stations' different locations. Composite image: open-weather
