Ensure that every cellphone base-station is equipped with basic weather condition collection equipment. The station is already equipped with the means to communicate the data to a central station, so the overhead of providing this service is minimal.
Accurate weather forecasting depends partly upon
a high density of observations - this idea will not address the problem of collecting data over the oceans, but with the increasing density of cell-phone coverage, should ensure a better means of tracking weather systems, albeit at generally low altitudes.

App Feeds Scientists Atmospheric Data from Thousands of Smartphones

An Android app that measures atmospheric pressure is now feeding that distributed data to scientists working on better ways to predict the weather. [Dub, Feb 05 2013]

[tc] The idea is to put the weather data collection functions in the fixed base-stations, not the phones themselves. |

would work better in the handsets anyway because the field of information would be more greatly dispersed. as an adjunct to this idea, what about we link it to massive gaia-like computer simulation programmes that develop memory from repeated multi-point mapping of weather systems? |
