Data sources

Every number on Aetheris should be traceable. This page is the canonical attribution list — the ⓘ markers across the platform resolve here.

Open-Meteo Air Quality API

US AQI, PM2.5, PM10, NO₂ for all 28 monitored cities (CAMS global model)

Live — fetched client-side on each visit

Open-Meteo Weather API

Temperature and relative humidity per city

Live — fetched client-side on each visit

GBIF occurrence search

Species-occurrence signal per city — distinct species and occurrence records within 50 km over the last 10 years (api.gbif.org, no key required)

Live — fetched client-side when a city page is opened

Aetheris community reports

Per-city counts of public field reports by category and severity over a rolling 30-day window, plus the number of distinct devices that filed them

Live · community — self-reported, unverified against instruments, and shaped by who is looking

AI-контекст on report cards

The context bubble under a field report — no new source of its own. Air and industrial reports quote the nearest Open-Meteo/CAMS station; biodiversity reports quote the GBIF occurrence record for the area. Both are the rows above, read at page load and placed beside the report

Derived — context, never a verdict, and never stored; recomputed in the browser on each visit

Aetheris community events

Visitor-created events with RSVPs and geo-fenced check-ins. Check-in position comes from the visitor's own device and is accepted only within 500 m of the event and inside its time window

Live · community — self-organised and self-reported; Aetheris neither runs nor vets these gatherings

Aetheris baseline model

Water quality (WQI), biodiversity intactness (BII), industrial load (IEI) and risk (ERI) indices

Modeled — deterministic regional baseline, refreshed per build

Aetheris station registry

Headline network figures — live readings per day (cities × metrics × hourly upstream updates), station, region and hotspot counts

Computed from the network registry at build time
