We know how the current admin views science and with the cuts to NOAA done this year, I expect that trend to continue and widen. At least where I am, we get to see both.
It may be a fools errand but makes for an extremely interesting research project. http://climatesight.app if you’re interested in climate markets.
Parametric insurance, energy traders, etc could be good markets.
Could you tell me more? https://discord.gg/HPpN42SKQ
What is possible is to know with near certainty the rough tonnage of water that will fall across a wide area grain region in an upcoming week.
Useful for the reliable production of grain (timing seeding, harvesting, spraying, etc) in the millions of tonnes.
IMO the best of these are Bing Weather and Rain Viewer, both provide rich maps showing where the rain it's going and all too. And how much.
However, the author of Carrot for iOS implemented his own flavor of this* and it's remarkably decent.
* According to Gruber interview around the same time Carrot introduced an entire Broadway musical about the conflict between the Carrot AI and her Maker (the dev). Which, while made with AI, is rather more listenable than the typical weather app.
This makes me skeptical that it isn’t just politicized Trumpian nonsense.
