Cumulonimbus (http://www.cumulonimbus.ca/) has released a new version of their open source, global barometer network. The network is built around an Android app called pressureNET (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.cumulonimbus.barometernetwork) which uses barometric sensors in new phones (such as the Nexus 4, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3, Note, and others) in order to build the comprehensive network. They plan to use the data to improve short-term weather prediction, and thegives a teaser of the new data visualization tool they are building (http://www.cumulonimbus.ca/pressurenet-2-1/)
