🌪️🌧️ Did you know major climate models like Community Earth System Model (CESM) often miss extreme events like the 2011 Texas drought? By boosting #CESM with high-resolution modeling, researchers Hsin I Chang, Yoshimitsu Chikamoto, & Christoforus Bayu Risanto show it’s possible to predict extreme #weather weeks in advance! See their dataset, software and article at doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.2382, doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.2382 & doi.org/10.1029/2023JD038765. Image: Stockcake
#OpenData #OpenScience #WeatherForecast

Habe heute eine Mail erhalten von jemandem, der unseren offenen Datensatz der Bibliotheksausleihen aus #pankow für seine Weiterbildung im Data Science Bereich nutzen will.
Das freut mich sehr und zeigt: Open Data lohnt sich!
Nun muss ich mich nur mal beeilen, die Daten von 2024 hochzuladen...

I just added a colorful feature to my free NYC buildings app: a kind of noiseometer! Each building has one of 10 colors, according to how many 311 Noise complaints were submitted in the last 12 months. There’s also a setting for Heat/Hot Water complaints.

My thought is that this might be useful for someone looking to move in the five boroughs. In any case, this update gives the app some much-needed color!

🏗️ Tracking Bonn's construction projects just got easier! Our Python tool automates downloading & analyzing official reports from opendata.bonn.de 🇩🇪 Transparency FTW! ✅

✨ LATEST UPDATE: Added a visual progress bar to the `download-documents` command (shoutout to the `click` library!). See exactly how fast that data is coming in! 📊

Update. "Funding cut for landmark study of women's health."
npr.org/2025/04/23/nx-s1-53728

"The #Trump administration is shutting down most of a landmark federal project studying women's health, stunning researchers around the country…The study, begun in the 1990s, has produced a series of groundbreaking results and was continuing to gather valuable data about women's health…Neither the #NIH, which funds the study, nor #HHS, which oversees the NIH, responded to NPR's questions about the matter…One big question is what will happen to the huge repository of #data…which represents a treasure trove that could be mined to make yet more important discoveries."

@pamelafox @SK53 Looks like fun!
I just sent the website makers a message, because I think they should include a little FAQ entry clarifying that #iNaturalist observations data is released as #opendata.
I'm immediately suspicious of any organisation asking volunteers to collect data (and we should encourage others to be suspicious when it comes to volunteering their time & effort), but in this case there is a good positive answer for those who go looking for it!

En una hora arrancamos!
