Somewhat related, but I found Andrew Blum's book The Weather Machine: A Journey Inside the Forecast an interesting read: > In The Weather Machine, Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey through an everyday miracle. In a quest to understand how the forecast works, he visits old weather stations and watches new satellites blast off. He follows the dogged efforts of scientists to create a supercomputer model of the atmosphere and traces the surprising history of the algorithms that power their work. He discovers that we have quietly entered a golden age of meteorology—our tools allow us to predict weather more accurately than ever, and yet we haven’t learned to trust them, nor can we guarantee the fragile international alliances that allow our modern weather machine to exist. * https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42079139-the-weather-machine https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42079139-the-weather-mac... * https://www.andrewblum.net/the-weather-machine-2 https://www.andrewblum.net/the-weather-machine-2 Also his book Tubes, the Internet's physical infrastructure.
