To distinguish between "normal" and anomalous surface temperatures in Calgary in 2025, I applied Tukey’s method. The statistical distribution shows a negative skewness (coefficient ≈−0.59).

This highlights a critical phenomenon: the vast majority of the urban area is densely clustered in the warmer temperature range. In contrast, cool refuges (the rivers, reservoir, and dense parks) are statistically scarce, forming a long "tail" on the left side of the plot. In essence, Calgary’s baseline is shifted toward higher temperatures, making Urban Cool Islands a rare and vital resource.

I would like to remind my readers and followers that I am currently preparing a comprehensive article based on these research results. In it, I will explore the ecological and geochemical implications of this thermal distribution. Stay tuned for further updates!

Floods, droughts, leaks — are you measuring from the right direction? 💧

From above: radar, ultrasonic, laser sensors mounted over the surface. No contact with the water.
From below: pressure sensors lowered into tanks, groundwater, boreholes.

All battery-powered, all wireless via LoRaWAN. No cabling — even in the most remote locations.

Today was a masterclass on the difference between models, inference from spaceborne imagers, and field observations.

I wrote a detailed post on LinkedIn about the technical data analysis pipeline I use at my solar energy startup. And I took ChatGPT's advice about a provocative headline at the beginning of the post. Now I think that was a mistake. Because, judging by the statistics, my readers are mostly engineers, not marketers.
