01 / The problem
What had to change
Useful weather context sits across several products and views. An operator needs one legible desk for the current picture.
02 / The constraints
What the system had to respect
- Different weather products update on different schedules.
- The display must support glanceable use from a distance.
- Aviation data and general forecasts need one clear hierarchy.
03 / The build
What I made
- Observatory and Classic desks with weather, radar, satellite, and aviation views.
- Location-based data adapters that keep partial results available when an upstream feed is missing.
- Large-screen, ambient, and two-location comparison views with saved browser preferences.
04 / The result
The useful change
Weather and aviation context can stay visible on one operating display instead of several browser tabs.
