LastQuake vs Ventusky: Weather Maps & Radar Usage & Stats

LastQuake is a free, mobile application dedicated to alerting populations and gathering testimonies in real-time when an earthquake occurs. Designed by seismologists, LastQuake is the official app of the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC). Thanks to the participative action of its users, only a few minutes are needed for the EMSC to estimate earthquake effects and notify the population. [LastQuake is an ad-free app!] ╍ NEW VERSION ╍ We're excited to introduce you to this new version of LastQuake, designed to provide an improved user experience and more advanced features for tracking earthquakes in your area and around the world. What's new in this version: - A dynamic home page with an interactive map showing the distribution of earthquakes around the world. This feature provides a better understanding of seismic activity in your region and around the world. - A search function now allows you to quickly find earthquakes by specifying date, magnitude, and geographic region. You can then filter earthquakes based on your personal criteria. - You can now save earthquakes for quick and easy access to information. This feature allows you to keep track of important earthquakes and their progress. - You can now customize your notifications to receive alerts according to your preferences: voice alert, earthquakes near you, minimum magnitude, maximum distance, etc. - Following feedback from users who complained that the home page didn't provide enough information about earthquakes at a glance and that they preferred the earthquake list, we've added the ability to choose which page you land on directly when you open the application (the classic home page or the earthquake list). - Automatic translation of comments when you click on them. ╍ AN INNOVATIVE EARTHQUAKE DETECTION METHOD ╍ EMSC detects earthquakes using: ∘ Earthquake witnesses, who are the first to feel an earthquake, hence the first informed that an event is happening. ∘ Internet and mobile technologies, which allow rapid information collection of the effects observed by witnesses, who are asked to fill in a questionnaire and share photos and videos.

Your contribution helps refine our understanding of earthquake effects while fostering our support in disaster preparation and response. ╍ WHAT IS EMSC? ╍ EMSC is an international non-profit scientific NGO founded in 1975. Based in France, EMSC federates data from the seismological observatories of 86 institutes from 57 countries. While operating a real-time earthquake information service, EMSC advocates for public participation in scientific research. Its core product, LastQuake, paves the way for innovative approaches to building more disaster-resilient communities, making EMSC among the pioneers of disaster apps dedicated to earthquakes and tsunamis.

Ventusky: Weather Maps & Radar

The app combines highly accurate weather forecast for your location with a 3D map showing development of weather in a broader area in a very interesting way. This allows you to see where precipitation is going to come from or where the wind is blowing from. The uniqueness of the app comes from the amount of data displayed. Forecast of weather, precipitation, wind, cloud cover, atmospheric pressure, snow cover and other meteorological data for different altitudes is available for the whole world. Moreover, the app is completely free of ads. WIND ANIMATION The Ventusky application solves weather displaying in an interesting way. Wind is displayed using streamlines which clearly portray the continuous development of weather. Airflow on Earth is always in motion and the streamlines depict this motion in an amazing way. This makes the interconnection of all atmospheric phenomena obvious. WEATHER FORECAST Weather forecast for the first three days is available in the app in one-hour steps. For other days, it’s available in three-hour steps. Users can also look up sunrise and sunrise times in a given place. WEATHER MODELS Thanks to the Ventusky application, visitors get data directly from the numerical models that, just a few years ago, were used solely by meteorologists. The app collects data from the most accurate numerical models. Besides the well-known data from the American GFS and HRRR models, it also displays data from the Canadian GEM model and the German ICON model, which is unique thanks to its high resolution for the whole world. Two models, EURAD and USRAD, are based on current radar and satellite readings. These models are able to show precisely current precipitation in US and Europe. WEATHER FRONTS You can also display weather fronts. We have created a neural network that predicts the positions of cold, warm, occluded, and stationary fronts based on data from weather models. This algorithm is unique, and we are the first on the world who makes global fronts forecast available to users. Wear OS Get quick access to weather updates, including precipitation forecasts, temperatures, and wind conditions, right on your wrist.
