It’s forecast to be an astrological 0m tide in Falmouth – one of the lowest of the year. These extreme tides always sit relatively close to the equinox and, with the high pressure, the tides will creep even lower than expected.
We clear the day and head to one of our favourite spots on The Lizard peninsular.
This spot is very familiar to us, a tidal pool that offers calm water even when the sea is choppy and rough. The breeze today disrupts the sea and a swell is hitting this part of the coast – we find the pool to be the sanctuary we always hope it to be.
Spring brings beautiful rock pooling – no seaweed has become large enough to swamp out other species, most are in their main growing season, so there is lots of beautiful fresh fronds. The sun-bleaching we see later in the year, as the temperature and UV increase, hasn’t yet happened. The water is still cool, not warm enough to support many fouling organisms. The results are clear diverse healthy-looking rock pools.
Kelp semi-drys splayed over rocks, waiting to be freed by the incoming tide. Ruth, inspired, partially dries her Sea Lettuce harvest on a bolder.
This sky is so blue, with just the wispiest clouds high above – a blue that makes any other weather seem implausible. On this little spot of coast its hard to belief there will be any visible weather systems on the image we receive today,- but there is lots, you can see The Lizard though, sitting under a pool of clear sky.
We were here on the equivalent low tide in 2024, the 12 March. It was so cold we had to bring flasks of tea, hats, gloves and thermals so we could last a few hours out here. Today we bath in the sun, agreeing, with relief, that we’ve made it through winter. Sometimes on days like this we do surveys and try to document what we see – today we just enjoy the space. We wonder how we can incorporate more days like this back into our lives.

Equipment troubles finally subsided for today's pass, resulting in a pleasingly expansive view of Europe and parts of North Africa. One interesting aside is that the wind was such that it blew through small gaps in the antenna, making distinctly musical notes in the process - can imagine a speculative art project in which the antenna is turned into a sort of instrument, working alongside the distinct notes of the NOAA transmission coming in. It would be quite the composition!

"That's so MacGyver!" says a blonde woman with a dog when I explain my tape-measure Yagi-Uda antenna. She and her friend / partner chat to me for a few minutes and walk off yelling back funding schemes that open-weather could apply to. "Welcome Trust.... Discovery Grant! Check it out!" I hear as they leave audible distance. I wonder if I've just met an arts and culture boss of some kind. I had come out to the park around 10:20am to catch a NOAA-19 pass that would pass over London at 90 degrees in maximum elevation- an elevation I have only rarely seen in my whole career capturing satellite images. A boy's football team is practising in my usual spot, so my reception is perhaps not as perfect as it normally is when I can see a perfect diagonal North-South across the Downs. Spring is everywhere today, in shooting daffodils and unfurling leaves. A twiggy plant that I had previously identified as a Serbian Lilac in my front garden reveals itselt to be a sycamore tree as its leaves unfold.

Software problems caused frequent glitches in the audio stream, resulting in this rather "striated" sounding, despite an otherwise excellent signal. A reminder, if there ever was, of the fragile chain of material structures and processes that enable these activities - and of how this fragility emerges from their status as constantly performing 'agents' in the world, rather than the typical image of technology as always fully tamed, always fully obedient to human imperatives.

It was overcast and dry. Some sun was peaking through. It got a bit windy at times, but there was usually a nice gentle breeze. It was about sixteen degrees Celsius. The satellite pass was really interesting to see. The experience was quite grounding - being connected to an orbiting machine in the sky.

Blue skies for installing the ground station the day before this first image uploaded, we worked together with Ray from Goonown. It was warm and springlike in Helston, the magnolias on the streets around CAST had just come into their element.
We thought we knew the aspect of the building but we were surprised by the direction of true north, we had been looking closer to north north west. Spent some time pondering magnetic deviation, unsure if the smart phone compass already accounted for it, wished we had a proper compass with us.
We chatted with Ray about the dry weather and how different it’s for them planting this year compared to last.
A few passers-by already stopped and mused on the new feature - ‘are you installing Sky TV?’.
The computer, sitting under the desk of the buildings office, seemed to be working okay and we were intrigued to see if it would upload. Ruth listened to the audio file before we saw the first image, as the automatic upload didn’t work the first time - a strange sound.
Seeing this first image we couldn’t quite comprehend any features poking through the noise, it wasn’t until someone else pointed out Scotland and Ireland beneath the clouds, upside down. We worried the granite building was obscuring the reading too much but were excited to see if we could trouble shoot the image with help from Sasha and Soph.
