I Was Tired of Missing Fog, so I Built an Algorithm To Find It.

Описание: Explore the app: https://fog-index.com

Chasing fog is one of the most rewarding—and frustrating—parts of being a landscape photographer. After years of 4:00 AM alarms, checking five different weather apps, and facing "clear sky" disappointments, I decided to stop relying on generic hazard forecasts and build a system for the sublime.

In this video, I walk through the science of fog, the gaps in current weather services like the NWS (which tells you if it’s dangerous to drive, not if it’s beautiful to shoot), and how I designed and coded Fog-Index to track 15+ atmospheric variables for my favorite PNW locations.

Fog-Index is a custom prediction tool built by a photographer, for photographers. It runs a proprietary algorithm that combines data from three different weather models into a single, actionable 0-100 probability score.
