Also, as far as i know, Bangalore measures temperature in a cool place in IISc rather than a spot on MG Road (which is what people experience). Is that true? Can someone please help with getting Bangalore temperature data history? I have tried searching and the IMD website but found some averages (monthly), but not enough detail. Thanks in advance, Rajesh http://www.bangaloremirror.com/bangalore/others/Activists-name-and-shame-heat-wave-suspects/articleshow/34543065.cms Activists name and shame heat wave suspects Bangalore Mirror Bureau | May 3, 2014, 02.00 AM IST [image: Activists name and shame heat wave suspects] Soaring temperature has triggered extensive debate among Bangaloreans in the past few months. Despite the claim by weathermen that the mercury levels are well within the summer normal range, people are experiencing intense heat across the city. Even as many wonder what could have made Bangalore — a city known for its salubrious climate — resemble a boiling cauldron, environmentalists point fingers at five major culprits.* Nidhi Yalburgi* take a closer look *1. WHOPPING REDUCTION **IN TREE COVER* As per estimates by scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), loss of green cover has opened up the city to direct sunlight. Experts are of the view that in each of the 198 wards of BBMP, there should have been a minimum of 20 per cent green cover. But currently, it ranges between 2-10 per cent, adding to the rise in temperature. A decade ago, the city had 111 villages within its limits, with lots of lung space dotted with large trees, and natural depressions filled with water. But rapid urbanisation has converted all these into a concrete jungle. *2. Disappearance of tanks/lakes* Bangalore was once known to have around 940 lakes, but has around 200 lakes on paper today, though many of them are nothing more than sewage pools. Also, around 50-60 per cent of the city's economic activity was earlier centred around agriculture and horticulture. Experts believe that these water bodies, to a certain extent, controlled temperature levels by adding moisture into the atmosphere. Today, many of them are just filled with sewage and absorb more and more heat, releasing greenhouse gases. *3. Glass towers which create heat islands* Innumerable glass-fronted buildings across Bangalore are also contributing to the high temperature during summer. Such buildings are a good fit in the city landscapes of countries in the cold West. But when copied to an Indian urban setting, they contribute majorly to the soaring temperature. A study by green activists has revealed that these glass buildings radiate heat, creating heat islands across the city, which then converge to raise surface temperature by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius more than the average. *4. Metallic toys burn more than rubber* As automobile and vehicle tyres burn rubber, there's collateral damage to the environment too. As per the study, vehicles, along with buildings, contribute to a 12 per cent increase in the heat level per day. Heat from vehicle combustion, as well as the mixing of sun rays with vehicle emissions, adds to surface temperature. With hardly any green cover to absorb this radiation, the heat gets trapped in the atmosphere and is circulated uniformly along the surface. *5. Lack of open spaces and waste-burning * Experts are of the view that open spaces within cities would moderate the climate. Bangalore has already lost several of its lung spaces either to land sharks or illegal settlements. About 40,000 hectares of area around Bangalore is under construction, though a third of it should have been set aside to provide green cover. Additionally, about 10-15 per cent of municipal waste is being burnt everyday, releasing dangerous hydrocarbons into the environment. The actual victims of this mindless urbanisation are the old citizens of Bangalore as they are unable to cope up with climatic changes. Large-scale radiation by buildings in the absence of trees has increased the levels of ground level or bad ozone, and hundreds of reports in this regard have been quietly sidelined. What we need is political will to tackle these activities. *A N Yallappa Reddy, IFS (Rtd), ecologist * Urban planners need to focus more on increasing green cover at the ward level. Green cover at every ward is important as it would

This is crucial since Chhattisgarh saw a 3% NOTA and the difference between congress and bjp vote share was less than NOTA and New Delhi 1%. this is interesting behavioural science to track. regards.

Re: [datameet] Your data, going on sale soon.
Well said, Rushabh. A friend had made this earlier comment on most of the UID critics out there - that most of the answers to common concerns are available on the UID website and their publicly available reports. Nobody seems to want to read them. On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 1:44 PM, Rushabh Mehta rme...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, This is typical FUD (fear-uncertainty-doubt) spreading article that takes way too many liberties. I glanced through the TAG-UP report ( http://finmin.nic.in/reports/tagup_report.pdf) on which this article is based. Some of the conclusions of the article are laughable, specially when it says The UIDAI will be a business entity, governed by the Companies Act; not bound by a law that will recognise the fiduciary role of the state... Now, how does the writer conclude this?! The report says, government should outsource more IT (which it is already doing via NSDL and other such PSUs) and create a framework to create such (Information Utilities) companies so that the process can be standardised instead of re-inventing the wheel all the time. No where I could find that ownership of personal or biometric data is to be transferred to these entities. Infact there is an entire chapter that talks about privacy issues and how to address them. Interestingly the report talks about using Open Standards and forward looking concepts like crowd-sourcing and self-correcting architectures. There are no doubt concerns about privacy and misuse of data but there are huge benefits too.

[datameet] IMD's conditions for use of their data
Here's a 'certificate of undertaking' that the Indian Meteorological Department asks you to fill up if you wish to buy any of their data products. Top among a long list of things that annoys me about this is how they can't conceive that I may wish to buy this data as an individual or a citizen, without affiliation to any agency in particular. Could any of you shed light on validity of these criteria, especially in the context of RTI, the new national data sharing policy and copyright laws in general?

Re: [datameet] Data release as part of Open Data Camp
Thanks Gautam! And Thej, that sounds really neat. Here's everything that I will be putting out, as a part of Know Your Climatehttp://blog.knowyourclimate.org/'s pledge to open data: *PS. Most of this data is cleaned up public sources of data, extracts of larger databases, and some that I have privately sourced from researchers, government officials and the odd intrepid farmer!* * * *Weather and climate data on Bangalore*: - Weather station monthly temperatures 1901-2000 (It's out today!http://blog.knowyourclimate.org/2013/changing-local-climate-of-bangalore-1/ ) - Weather station monthly rainfall, 1901-2000 - Daily rainfall data for 1951-2007 extracted from the Aphroditehttp://www.chikyu.ac.jp/precip/gridded data set - Cleaned up hourly weather data for 2012 from IMD's automated weather station http://www.imdaws.gov.in/ for the city. (With due credit to Anand C's invaluable archiving and his effort along with Asok at creating a CSV dump) *- *Daily rainfall data from multiple sources in around the city over the past 3-4 years. *Rainfall and climate data on Wayanad*: - Daily rainfall data for Muttil, Wayanad - 1983-2010 (has gone offline - will put it back on) - Monthly weather parameters from Ambalavayal Agro Research Station, Wayanad - 2000-2010 - Monthly rainfall data from Chundale Coffee Research Station, Wayanad - 1970s-2010 - Monthly rainfall data collected by CGWB from ~ 20 private sources across Wayanad for 2000-2005.

Re: [datameet] Data release as part of Open Data Camp
Hey folks, Proceeding on the lines of what Karthik suggested - it would be a really neat idea if we can come up with a voluntary pledge to release data into the public domain, on occasion of the Open Data Camp 2013. I'm sure that a majority of us here at Datameet have some amount of data with us that has a public quality to it - where its utility and public benefit grows leaps and bounds if it's released to the larger public. I'm fully aware that most data sets people possess come with riders - a government agency might have given it to you for personal/institutional use and not for sharing it with the wider public. Or you may not be finished with the data you've collected - and you don't wish to release it until you've extracted a good amount of value. And all this is perfectly fine. In the former case and in several other situations, I'll admit that I've been far more comfortable sharing data with individuals I trust than truly releasing it into the public domain - and this is where I disagree with Karthik - I don't think most of us data hoarders in India, we're just far more comfortable sharing it in private. However, it will be great if all of us can take a look at what data we have and see how much we can put out into the open without too much trouble. Data has a strong network quality to it - the more data sets you have, the more value one can extract by looking at their relationships. Now, we can do this in three ways: 1) We announce what we're willing to share here on this email thread. (I can go first!) 2) We share our intentions with our gracious organisers Thej/Nisha and we go with the public release at the Data Camp for greater effect. 3) Some of you might even want to share the data anonymously, and we might need an intermediary (like what Thej does with the wonderful http://openbangalore.org/) Let me know what you all think.
