[STOPPED] QuickApp - Ambee Water Vapor

[SmartHomeEddy 778]

Ambee changed their API policy to only paid and a (too) short trial time. 

 

This QuickApp gives access to real-time water vapor level of any location in Asia, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand by latitude and longitude. 

Water vapor resolution varies from 1 hour to 2 days, based on the availability of data and the change of data with respect to a particular location.

NASA Earth Observatory: "Water is constantly cycling through the atmosphere. Water evaporates from the Earth's surface and rises on warm updrafts into the atmosphere. It condenses into clouds, is blown by the wind, and then falls back to the Earth as rain or snow. This cycle is one important way that heat and energy are transferred from the surface of the Earth to the atmosphere, and transported from one place to another on our planet.

 

Water vapor is also the most important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Heat radiated from Earth's surface is absorbed by water vapor molecules in the lower atmosphere. The water vapor molecules, in turn, radiate heat in all directions. Some of the heat returns to the Earth's surface. Thus, water vapor is a second source of warmth (in addition to sunlight) at the Earth's surface."

Ambee changed their API policy to only paid and a (too) short trial time, so unfortunately I cannot support the QuickApp anymore.
