The Musings section has moved to a new home! Hurricane pages automation will continue here (though now off of GCP), and any other important updates will get an announcement.

This is just a quick overview of the major parameters and measurements provided by NOAA that get pulled into the model. There are a few different sources for these parameters, though in the end the sources all have pretty much the same data. Time Timestamp Data is generally provided in Track datasets, where each set of measurements has a corresponding timestamp. Includes Year, Month, Day, Hour, and often Minute, but hour is the primary resolution measurements are usually at 6 hour intervals, but sometimes interim measurements are made for large or notables storms Models tend to interpolate between time steps for more uniform coverage Position and Movement Position Provided as a Lat/Lng, to a 10th of a degree resolution Range: 90W-90E, 90S-90N Most NOAA products provide this in the format 1234E, 5678S.

This post will be about how I accessed the Go/Wasm memory buffer from the Javascript side. I wanted to get this one out, because it took me a very long time to work through it, and I had to piece together a ton of random internet resources. All the code is pulled from the site, but I’ve simplified it the best I can. Go/Wasm instantiation in JS When instantiating the Go/Wasm “application” in JS-land, its important to keep a reference to the WebAssembly object used in that process.
