Smartphone features upgrade, will measure air pressure and forecast the weather!
you know? Your Andr ?? oid cell phone could help scientists develop weather forecasting technology. Collect large amounts of data via the App, upload databases, and then shared with all users, or even to predict future weather conditions for the location of the user. University of Washington atmospheric scientist vision Maas (Cliff Mass) found in Android phones if pressure sensor built into the huge atmospheric data collected will revolutionize today’s weather forecasting technology. He works with App Developers PressureNet, collecting pressure data from Android phones, and then provide the latest information to sophisticated climate models in the future if the data reaches a certain size, it is expected to arrive a few hours before a storm or Nike Free tornado location of the user an alert. Air Jordan 5 Retro Google’s Andr ?? oid 3.0 Honeycomb (Honeycomb) operating system, adding support for atmospheric sensing features, however, the purpose was not designed to correspond to the Barometer program, but to improve the search user Nike Shoes location accuracy. Pressure will change with altitude, so long as the pressure readings collected with neighboring weather data comparison, you can point out where the altitude cell phone users more accurately. Maas try to collect air pressure data from various sources, and adding the prediction model, hoping to sophisticated forecasting techniques, he stressed that observations of atmospheric pressure is very important, it is an important parameter atmospheric changes. With current technology, weather forecasting roughly every other day can lower the chances of violent thunderstorms, but if climate models the researchers can integrate with a number of pressure readings to identify the characteristics of weather-related disasters can be predicted storm about six hours earlier arrived at a place point in time, it is the goal of the current weather forecast Micro has not yet reached. Challenge Maas said that the current pressure data collected, quality and quantity are quite Nike King inadequate, dubbed PressureNet application is currently the only Air Jordan 5 Retro pressure data can be displayed and shared to all nike dunk heels users of the barometer App, per hour in 80 data points to obtain information, but this size is difficult to play a role. After last year’s super storm Sandy deep (Sandy) ravaged the eastern United States, Maas did some publicity to improve PressureNet awareness, global download is about 14,000 times, the data point reading reaches 3000-4000 per hour, so the data began to have effect, But from a million downloads a far cry from the target. Currently on the market are equipped with atmospheric sensors phones and tablet much, only the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 10, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note, how will PressureNet extended to the majority of mobile devices is a major problem. In addition, most users are restricted range of activities on land, access to data types. Furthermore, to be able to Nike Lunar Haze get the phone data privacy issues must be resolved, developers want users to be able to choose different ways to share data, such as only academic researchers can obtain. Interested readers to this site can view the data already collected.
