What UOGW is

A versioned, multi-layer discovery and sampling layer for open atmospheric observations: ground, marine, upper-air, stratospheric/space, satellite/model, and first-party MSDS near-space flight products. Independent GitHub Actions keep indexes, science packages, anomaly reports, and °F charts fresh. UOGW does not replace agency systems of record; it organizes public access with attribution.

Built-in graphs and charts (°F)

Global city temperatures

[image]

Horizontal bar chart of current surface air temperature for each successful global city sample. Bars are sorted cold→hot; warmer colors mark heat (≥86°F / ≥95°F).

City temperature map

[image]

Scatter map of the same city samples by longitude/latitude, colored by temperature (°F).

Casey, IL hourly temperature

[image]

24-hour temperature trace for Casey, Illinois (MSDS home site).

NDBC marine samples

[image]

NOAA NDBC buoy sample panel: wave height (meters) plus water and air temperature (°F).

Global city relative humidity

[image]

Relative humidity (%) for the same global city sample network.

Anomaly severity

[image]

Count of UOGW research anomaly flags by severity (alert / watch / info). Not an NWS warning product.

Anomaly detection guide

Severity	Meaning
Alert	Strong outlier vs thresholds or baseline (extreme heat/cold, \	z\	≥ 3, very high waves).
Watch	Elevated interest — heat/cold, wind, low pressure, or \	z\	≥ 2.5 vs the 7-day baseline.
Info	Lower urgency (hot + very dry, strong high, warm water sample).
