FLYSAT-MESSAGE for Namibia
Get weather information from Namibia immediately on your mobile phone with FlySat-Message.
This is not about forcasts it's about current measuring data! While flying you get a solid view in the current weather situation.
For that we seperated Namibia in different squares. For each square you get a compressed weather information.
For instance:
- b0 (blue sky without clouds) or
- 1c1 (1/8 Cumulus clouds)
FlySat-Message
- In the text message (left) you see the arranged combination of letters and digits (text block)
- Such as 3C3 or 2s4
- The --B-- defines the position of Bitterwasser
- The text block 2C2 northwest of --B-- indicates the square of POKweni
Geographic orientation
- Each text block in FlySat-message indicates one square in the grid (right)
- In total we seperated Namibia into 30 single squares (five horizontal ones and six vertical ones)
- Each has a size of 100km x 100km
- So we cover 300km up north, down south and to the east and 200 km to the west
