Meeting Summary (AI Generated)

• André and Hannah discussed their struggles with obtaining weather data. They tried different methods, but faced challenges with incomplete and unavailable data, ultimately finding alternative solutions. - PLAY @0:00: https://fathom.video/share/Shi2nvmz1t3iDQXCtUvHB5HccD6QTLzg?timestamp=0.0
• André and Hannah discussed André's progress in analyzing weather data. André discovered that some sensors already measure wind direction and speed, making his previous work unnecessary, but he found a way to access weather data through web scraping and shared a tutorial with Hannah. - PLAY @2:43: https://fathom.video/share/Shi2nvmz1t3iDQXCtUvHB5HccD6QTLzg?timestamp=163.66
• André and Hannah discussed the weather data they found, including information on wind direction, temperature, and altitude. They decided to further investigate and develop a Python code to automatically analyze and interpret the data. - PLAY @10:56: https://fathom.video/share/Shi2nvmz1t3iDQXCtUvHB5HccD6QTLzg?timestamp=656.2
• André explained his method of calculating the width of Gaussians based on the distance to the five closest stations, and how he accounted for differences in elevation when modeling temperature changes. Hannah expressed interest in using metadata to improve the understanding of temperature changes and generalize the model. - PLAY @19:12: https://fathom.video/share/Shi2nvmz1t3iDQXCtUvHB5HccD6QTLzg?timestamp=1152.72
• André and Hannah discussed their goals for the project, including André's desire to win the office and the potential for continuing the project after the boot camp. They also talked about Hannah's study of category theory and the need to figure out how to use weather data to identify weather influences on flight paths. - PLAY @25:35: https://fathom.video/share/Shi2nvmz1t3iDQXCtUvHB5HccD6QTLzg?timestamp=1535.06
• André and Hannah discussed the need for specific flight data, considering the exclusion of certain days and stations. They also planned to further discuss the different possible flights they wanted to analyze in the future. - PLAY @31:39: https://fathom.video/share/Shi2nvmz1t3iDQXCtUvHB5HccD6QTLzg?timestamp=1899.42
• André and Hannah discussed the possibility of focusing on small flights initially to simplify the weather conditions and test the limits of their model. They also agreed to summarize their conversation and discuss it further as a group in their next meeting. - PLAY @33:27: https://fathom.video/share/Shi2nvmz1t3iDQXCtUvHB5HccD6QTLzg?timestamp=2007.68
