About the application:

Overview Designed by atmospheric scientists at the University of Washington, uWx is a pressure apk that crowd-sources anonymous pressures from your phone to improve weather forecasts. Apk Features • Hiking Altimeter: Use your barometer as an altimeter. Track your pressure and elevation as you hike. • Current Weather: Receive a real-time look at a dozens of meteorological variables from temperature, wind, and pressure too humidity, cloud cover, and precip. • Worldwide Weather: Wondering what the weather is like in Antarctica, Havana, or Beijing? uWx can tell you! Easily find for weather forecasts and current conditions at any place on the planet. • Global Climatology: Planning a fast getaway or a family vacation? Explore which months of the year are ideal for travel by taking a look at our monthly climatologies. • Real-time Weather Maps: View high resolution radar and satellite data at the touch of your finger. • Crowd-sourced Pressures: Take a look at crowd-sourced pressures collected by your smartphone. Calibrate your barometer and learn about sensor bias. View real-time pressure measurements at the home screen. Our Research When weather models are run observations are used to constrain and adjust the forecasts they produce so that ultimately model forecasts are closer to reality. The more observations that are used to constrain and adjust weather models the better the forecasts tend to be. At show there are a few thousand surface weather stations that actively contribute observations to weather models within the US. We estimate that there are well over 100 million smartphones (in the US alone) capable of crowd-sourcing atmospheric pressure. Crowd-sourced pressure observations from a little fraction of these phones should substantially improve the density and temporal frequency of weather observations across the US. By incorporating crowd-sourced pressures into weather models we hypothesize that improvements in short-term weather forecasts should be achieved. By downloading uWx you can assist us try this hypothesis and become a part of the first-generation of mobile weather observing networks!
