Going Blue is a weather app designed specifically for satellite messengers. It was built for a Denali ski expedition with one goal: to get you all the weather information you would have at home, wherever you are. Going Blue uses a custom compression codec and decoder app to pack hundreds of forecast data points into a single 160-character message. How it works 1. Build a forecast request in the app. Choose the location, model, and variables that you care about. 2. Send it from your satellite messenger, as a text message, or over the internet. 3. Paste the reply back into the app's decoder to see a detailed meteogram. Forecast details - Support for any satellite messenger that works over SMS. Tested with Garmin inReach and ZOLEO. Also works over the internet if you are in service. - Temperature, snow, rain, wind, and cloud cover included by default. - Optional variables such as pressure-level winds, cloud cover by height, and freezing level. - Over 30 high-resolution regional models from American, Canadian, and European forecast centers. Automatically use the highest resolution model for your location or pull multiple models to compare. - Hourly detail or extended range up to 13 days. - Past forecasts are saved on your device so that you can easily compare multiple forecasts and see trends without requesting a new forecast.
