Anyone I know at Google (esp BigQuery) who can help get this climate data stored for free in the public interest?
Chris is doing really important independent research on directly measuring CO2 absorption from satellite data. Cloud is too pricey, local HDD is too slow.

Last night @markov_gainz put @googlecloud to the test:
18.7 TB of @NASAJPL AIRS satellite data
$100 to run a single query
Processing on a PC+external HDD takes 8 days.
#BigQuery finished in only 6 minutes
