The following is from https://github.com/cambecc/air#! to describe the project.

air

"air" is a project to visualize live air quality data provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The main components of the project are:
•a scraper to extract air data from www.kankyo.metro.tokyo.jp
•a postgres database to store the data
•an express.js server to serve this data and other static files to the client
•a client app that interpolates the data and renders an animated wind map

An instance of "air" is available at http://air.nullschool.net. It is currently hosted by Amazon Web Services and fronted by CloudFlare.

"air" is a personal project I've used to learn javascript, node.js, when.js, postgres, D3 and browser programming. Some of the design decisions were made simply to try something new (e.g., postgres). Undoubtedly, other decisions were made from a lack of experience. Feedback welcome!
