I am waiting to post our podcast :-p
NOAA advertises a total budget of $7B nowadays, of which the National Weather Service spends ~$1.3B to operate stations - observations, process data, produce and disseminate forecasts. More or less what WeatherXM is trying to do. https://www.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-05/NOAA_Blue_Book_2024.pdf
WeatherXM community operates 4k stations today explorer.weatherxm.com with a shared CAPEX $2m while NOAA gov network has 13k https://demo.pigsty.cc/d/isd-overview with many problems in the data (problems in sensors, missing data)
