Loving this new Marathon update. Might get me to dip my toe back in.

I downloaded every weekly notice of operations for DBA going back to march and searched for Voltaire. It shows up in every notice between May 4th and 31st, then skips a few and shows up again on 22 June. Doesn't say what it's doing tho... doggerbank.com/document-cat...

I looked up the tweet and I’m still lost. I’m calling this a win.

I’m much less online than I once was sorry.

Dunno what the fuck you’re on about but I hard agree. I’m here for your coy obscurant posting. Drink and post more.

The tragedy of AI goes beyond environmental and political to a far worse sin: turning interesting intelligent people into the biggest bores on the planet. Get a grip on yourselves fuck. This is how I used to post and it’s why I stopped.

Yea, twitshift. Long gone and good riddance 😂 No one wants to see my old tweets these day least of all me!

Bizarre timing. I saw a similar anomaly the other day. Are we sure there wasn’t a freak rogue wind blast along the coast? 🤣

Related: either we had a bird strike or it’s time to replace the anemometer.

An incredible high wind gust was recorded on the Isle of May weather station as storm Éowyn hit #Fife in late January. An insane 98MPH top windspeed was recorded! 😱😱😱 The live dashboard for this station is available on my website's main page: www.fifeweather.co.uk

Where I live we now have got through the 10 weeks of the year with less than 9 hours of daylight and are approaching what I like to call the "rapidly lengthening daylight" period of the year. This #dataviz shows the weekly loss and gain of daylight at 51 degrees north.

Zooming in on these, they seem to be 3d mapping some planes, possibly with lidar? Not sure if they use that data to try to detect a plane shape and scrub it. Might explain the inconsistency if lidar coverage or accuracy varies. No idea.

James Wheare @jwheare.com · 25/01/2025

They’re onto you… also, I do see a fair few planes at Gatwick in my imagery, just not at the gates.

James Wheare @jwheare.com · 25/01/2025

Never mind, it’s inconsistent everywhere. Curious. I did find one Heathrow plane on Google though :)

The Apple Maps satellite provider does this for roads too, but their attempts at airports are a bit… ghostly.

James Wheare @jwheare.com · 25/01/2025

Or they’ve just removed temporary/mobile features by averaging over multiple satellite passes. Avoids having weird artifacts like planes cut in half at tile/frame boundaries. You’ll notice there’s no cars on motorways either.

Looks like that’s been deliberately scrubbed as a clean base for the 3d building renders.

Right, time to close all these tabs and go for a wallk... oh wait. (spoilers for another project)

I put a silly amount of work into this, but it was a fun exploration in datavis and storytelling. I could keep tinkering on this forever but I gave myself till then end of the month to call it done. Time to move onto other projects. (PS: looking for work…)

Oh well done. I’m currently struggling to put together a hilariously over engineered visual review of just my own receiver’s 2024 data so I think I’ll pass.

James Wheare @jwheare.com · 02/01/2025

Perhaps Mossmorran related? I wonder if it got worse in Aberdour. A92 probably not great for PM levels either. That said your previous levels are already low, especially PM2.5.
