If more ice melts in the Alps, how does that lead to lower water levels in the Rhine? One would expect the reverse effect.


There is only so much ice in the Alps. As glaciers retreat, there is less water stored in them. Reduced ice mass means less meltwater, despite warm conditions.


The ice doesnt replenish in the colder periods. Side streams go dry, transporting less water to the main stream.


Yes, glacier melting should mean more water. That is not what the graph labeled "The Rhine river has been receding as alpine glaciers at its source melt" shows.

Another alternative is that, because temperatures are warmer and there is less water stored in the glaciers during winter and less melting in summer, there should be a wider depth variation between winter and summer but a similar average. Also not what the graph shows.

It seems like it is just less precipitation. (Which is climate change, possibly due to global warming)


Probably less water during summer as that came from meltwater. I would assume more water during winter then.


Interesting. I'm giving it a shot.

I found the documentation somewhat confusing.

> Give the bucket a name and attach the sample policy from "My Billing Dashboard" > Preferences.

The first step in configuring the S3 bucket refers to something that's explained in more detail in the second step. Feels like the order of thing is off.

Using cross account access rewarded me with a validation error without helpful instructions. I followed the common issues without luck. I think that's a problem.

Key based access worked for me at the first attempt. However, it's not immediately clear you have to give PowerUser and ReadOnly rights like in the first section.

Good luck with the further development of your product!


Thanks for the feedback. I'll work on the validation part of it.


I'm also seeing a validation error for cross account access.


Just email me at veer@totalcloud.io. I'll help you out with it.


Exactly what we are using this for. However, I found there was little performance benefit versus running on CPU. Can't figure out why.
