Beijing Air Quality Forecast
Posted by Jimmie R. Markham | July 23, 2008
I found a website that provides a forecast for the air quality in Beijing. It is a collaboration between the National Remote Sensing Centre of China and the European Space Agency, so it’s probably not completely suspect. One thing I did notice was that the color-scheme they use is a little misleading. Blue is for "good", which makes sense, but green is for "medium" which makes no sense. I decided to set up a Beijing Air Quality Forecast on 400meteroval.com based on the data from the Beijing Air Quality website, but with a twist. Since we’re dealing with smog here, I thought I’d color code it in good old fashioned gray scale. The worse the air quality, the darker the shade of gray will be. Let’s see what kind of readings we get in the days leading up to the Olympic Games (Cough! Cough!).
