Smart city Climate: First successes in Switzerland
summary
A deployed Zurich prototype from 2019 combines miniature sensors over LoRa with satellite maps and interpolation to produce door‑to‑door temperature maps and hourly forecasts, claiming under 1°C accuracy when trained with about 45–60 stations. Results show surprisingly large local spreads—several degrees across short distances—and precipitation variance up to 40+ mm. The stack includes calibrated sensors, data quality controls, GIS local climate zones, and simulations; typical deployment time runs two to three months up to a year, and the system scales toward wind and precipitation.
