there was a big red blob on the air quality map in the central valley, blowing towards the bay and i was pretty sure it wasn't from kincade so I had to google "what parts of california are on fire now" and as i typed that out I ended up looking into the camera like in the office

most resources are modelling the smoke from kincade, so even if it's supposed to be pretty clear in the Bay today it might not be, air quality is already *really* bad in Dublin

The inconsistency between PurpleAir's sensor network and the AQICN data today seems... disturbing. (My understanding was PurpleAir used a network of lower quality sensors, with the tradeoff of much denser coverage (and also realtime rather than time-smoothed data)...

... but missing a huge swath of pollution seems less than ideal.

My Mark 1 eyeball and Mark 1 nose sensors think SF is a lot closer to Purple Air than the government's page.

AQICN sensors say SF is in pretty good shape right now: aqicn.org/city/california/sa… (the AQICN sensors don't go close to 0 the way the PurpleAir ones do, so teens or twenties is about as good as it gets) The inconsistency I'm more concerned about is near Dublin / Livermore.

many purple air sensors are down, presumably due to PSPS.
