Mobile Weather Station3.3

WeatherSignal uses native phone sensors to measure local atmospheric conditions, which are then displayed on our live-updating weather map. Join the world-s largest crowdsourced weather project. Features: . Readout for all the sensors on your device (think Tricorder- but real!) . Widgets for temperature, magnetic, light, humidity and pressure sensors (if you have them) . Save all data to CSV- play with it however you like . Map of readings of other users and of your own, see averages within each map window, click on icons to see full readout . Manual reports . Tons of graphs (for geeks like us :)) . Contribute to our maps (you can turn off sharing in settings) . Share data to help us improve the weather forecast . Looks great on tablets Turn your device into a thermometer, barometer, lightmeter and hygrometer- depending on which sensors your device has- with this app your phone is a mobile science kit!

This app is experimental! Readings from sensors may be faulty, we are developing ways of filtering and correcting this. In particular, individual TEMPERATURE readings may be incorrect, but when averaged over many users we get reliable information for our community powered maps. - WeatherSignal is designed to help you make use of your phones sensors. What the app shows depends on what model of phone you have and how many sensors it has. The app works best on the Galaxy S4 since it has the most sensors. The WeatherSignal app can measure: . Pressure (certain devices only) . Temperature (see note) . Light Intensity . Humidity (Galaxy S4 only) . Magnetic Flux . Acceleration (turn on in application settings) You can see graphs and maps of all these values live or over time. This app is also one of the first to feature Google-s Activity Recognition: monitor when you-re walking, in vehicle, on a bicycle. You can save the results to CSV and perform your own analysis/create maps, for example for quantified self tracking - TEMPERATURE - Weve come up with an algorithm that translates battery temperature into ambient temperature making your phone a thermometer. For each user this can sometimes be a bit approximate but we-ve discovered that there is a very strong correlation between battery and ambient temperature when spread over a crowd of users. If you are using a cell phone without an external thermometer then the temperature reading youll see is a battery temperature reading converted through our algorithm. Often the algorithm will get it wrong, but we-ve shown that with appropriate averaging and filtering, these readings correlate extremely well with external ambient air temperature. The Galaxy S4, which has an ambient air temperature thermometer, may produce incorrect readings if the phone is hot (perhaps because it-s been in your pocket or has been charging or intensively used. - PRESSURE - Devices that contain barometers include: Galaxy Nexus Galaxy S3, S4, Note (1,2,3) Nexus 4 Nexus 10 Xoom RAZR MAXX HD Xiaomi MI-2 Units available: millibars/hPa inches of mercury aka Hg or inches H centigrade/celsius and Fahrenheit You might also be looking for: luxmeter, lightmeter, light meter, magnetometer, barometer, hygrometer, accelerometer, thermometer - if your phone has it, WeatherSignal reads it, graphs it, maps it, saves it.
