Ever wondered about how much old weather data is not available to climate scientists to use?
Just in the UK we have around 100 million daily rainfall measurements for the period 1850-1960 sitting in the Archives on hundreds of thousands of sheets of paper.
Where is the AI tool to read these?!
@ed_hawkins May your wish be granted 😇. We at #SMHI in #Sweden are putting together one, it is called #Dawsonia
https://dawsonia.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
The project is a work in progress and so is the documentation. The ambition is to make it generic enough so that it can help #DataRescue projects around the world. So in that spirit we are developing in an free and open-source model.
