GET CREATIVE - Challenge
Visualisation
- Development of underpinning WMO Stylesheet
- Produce weather symbols as emojis
- Visualise the "weather ghosts” or the weather of the past
- Recognise and visualise the fractal beauty of weather patterns
- Visualise causes/sources of poor air condition events
- Visualise the carbon footprint of everyday activities (e.g. One planet living)
- An app allow users to explore how good our forecasts are at various forecasts ranges
- A visualiser-esque gif that changes colour and size over time base on larger or smaller pieces of data (maybe hook it up to a world map to view different areas.
Impact
- Asthma boy/girl: App boys&girls with asthma look at to check level of pollution, temperature, etc. Something qualitative (e.g. smiley face for low pollution levels, sad face for high pollution level)
- An app that calculates the cost/loss ratio of a weather related decision
- An app analysing power usage/surges prediction and local weather
- App in ArcGIS or other mapping framework to filter data → local data maps. Providing data to twitter/comms. Mapping impact of land changes
- when will my fruit/veg be in season? What fruit /veg will be in season, now and in future climate? Vis app
- optimal sunshine spots on a map to find out where to put solar panels? Is it convenient to install solar panels on my roof?
- Link manufacturing performances and weather patterns / consumer behaviour and weather patterns
- find relationships between weather and financial derivative markets and use weather to predict price etc
- what-if scenarios/climate impact of various choices for future energy generation
- Linking animal behaviour to weather (e.g. snail coming out after rain)
- day planner assistance according to weather
Q: How can we maKe our cities more resilient and reactive to weather and climate data?
Sonification
- Musical extreme weather maps
- App where users enters what they did the day before and the app generates a soundtrack based on carbon footprint (promote cleaner actions?)
- Musical air pollution map
- weather swarms - sound, visual maps, swarms move according to parameter
Gamification
- A game where the map is procedurally generated based on weather patterns from the user area
- weather tetris; weather tetris swarm
- healing the earth through open data - a story, an animated app or game
Musification
- correlating music taste with local weather and using forecast to suggest music
- present weather playlist
- Musifing the forecasts of storms into an app that sounds a thunder when the storm arrives
- Develop a playlist (possibly Spotify) that responds to current and/or forecast weather conditions
