OMERICA ATLAS: CREDITS AND LICENCES Demo address: https://omericastudios.com/demos/climate-atlas/ Last checked: 2026-10-03 Omerica Atlas is a demonstration by Omerica Studios (Halal Helper LLC d/b/a Omerica Studios, New Jersey). It is not a government or agency site. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any organisation named below. Their names appear here only to give the credit that their licences ask for, and to say where each figure comes from. ============================================================================== 1. WHAT OMERICA STUDIOS MADE ============================================================================== The pages, the wording, the forecast guide, the three simulation scenes, the icons and the preview pictures were made by Omerica Studios, with AI assistance for code and writing. The preview pictures are screenshots of these pages. The three 3D site models (flood-site, heat-site, soil-site) are illustrative geometry built for this demo. They hold no photographs and no textures, and they do not show real places. The tree picture used in the scenes is drawn by a script (_work/make_atlas_tree.py in the site's repository). Nothing in the simulations is a survey, a forecast, an engineering result or an emergency order. The inputs are illustrative. ============================================================================== 2. SOFTWARE LIBRARIES THAT SHIP WITH THE DEMO ============================================================================== three.js r185 3D engine for the simulations, with its glTF loader and orbit controls. MIT licence. https://threejs.org meshoptimizer Decoder that unpacks the 3D models; it ships inside the three.js bundle. MIT licence. https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer Lucide Interface icons in the simulations.

FONTS ============================================================================== Geist, Geist Mono Used by the forecast guide and stored on this site. SIL Open Font License 1.1 (full text in section 7). https://github.com/vercel/geist-font Noto Sans Place names on the map. Served by the map tile service, not stored on this site. Open licence (SIL Open Font License or Apache-2.0, as stated by the font package that service uses: https://github.com/openmaptiles/fonts). ============================================================================== 4. MAP AND ELEVATION DATA (3D Terrain view) ============================================================================== Base map OpenFreeMap © OpenMapTiles.

FIGURES IN THE FORECAST GUIDE ============================================================================== Each figure was read against its source page on 2026-10-03. Airport weather stations, about 950 U.S. sites U.S. National Weather Service https://www.weather.gov/asos/ Doppler weather radar, 158 radars NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory https://www.nssl.noaa.gov/tools/radar/ Soil-moisture satellite, a global map every 2 to 3 days NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory https://smap.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/description/ Farm soil stations, over 200 USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/resources/data-and-reports/soil-climate-analysis-network Machine-learning forecasts: four runs a day, 6-hour steps, out to 15 days, on a grid of about 0.25 degrees, as one single run and one ensemble European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/dataset/aifs-machine-learning-data The guide is a fixed page. It does not load live data from any of them. ============================================================================== 6. WHAT YOUR BROWSER CONTACTS ============================================================================== The forecast guide and the simulations load only from omericastudios.com. The 3D Terrain view asks two outside services for pieces of the map as you move around: tiles.openfreemap.org base map and place-name fonts (OpenFreeMap, which serves them through Cloudflare) s3.amazonaws.com elevation tiles (Amazon Web Services) Like any web request, those requests carry your IP address and browser type to those services. Omerica Studios does not receive or store them. The demo sets no cookies and runs no analytics. It keeps three interface settings in your browser's local storage (which panels are shown or hidden). They never leave your device. The source links in the forecast guide open the public pages of the organisations listed in section 5. ============================================================================== 7.

This license is copied below, and is also available with a FAQ at: https://openfontlicense.org ----------------------------------------------------------- SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1 - 26 February 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------- PREAMBLE The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership with others. The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded, redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives, however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives. DEFINITIONS "Font Software" refers to the set of files released by the Copyright Holder(s) under this license and clearly marked as such. This may include source files, build scripts and documentation. "Reserved Font Name" refers to any names specified as such after the copyright statement(s). "Original Version" refers to the collection of Font Software components as distributed by the Copyright Holder(s). "Modified Version" refers to any derivative made by adding to, deleting, or substituting -- in part or in whole -- any of the components of the Original Version, by changing formats or by porting the Font Software to a new environment. "Author" refers to any designer, engineer, programmer, technical writer or other person who contributed to the Font Software.
