Good mix of algo and human
Looking at Wunderground's radar last night to see if I could spot the next area of wind.... scanning across the Seattle area...
Huh? Whole lotta wind on Vashon Island but nowhere else.
Clicking on the flag:
Hmm. Do you suppose that's an instrumental error?
Wunderground's symbols are an excellent tool for pattern recognition. The colors make it easy to spot a bad temperature, and the flags make it easy to spot a bad wind reading. An algorithm would have a much harder time singling this out. It's entirely possible for a hilltop location to have 60 mph wind while a nearby valley has 15. Where does the algo draw the line? Why not 137? And why not 296 inches of rain? Global Warming tells us we're all going to float up to the moon sometime around next Tuesday, but this total immersion will NOT cancel out a drought. Drought never goes away; it just becomes a seafloor drought. Still dry as a bone. We all know Gaia is the only Goddess and Michael Mann[pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh][pbuh] is her Prophet. We must obey.
