Link Degradation

Our goal here is to correlate Starlink network performance reported by Michel et al. with historical weather data from Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, their dish location. Unfortunately, for the period of their experiments (roughly Winter and Spring 2022), no heavy rain was reported. Our results are thus that light rain and cloud cover does not impact Starlink performance.

  1. Download network performance data

    Download the UC Louvain data from here. Download at least the ping and speed-test folders. Place it in a folder called uclouvain-data.

    If you use this data in your own work, make sure to also cite their paper!

  2. Download weather data

    We have downloaded weather data for Louvain-la-Neuve from December 15, 2021 to May 15, 2022, from Open-Meteo. Select at least the Temperature, Precipitation, Rain, Weathercode, and Cloudcover Total options.

  3. Place the weather data as weather.csv in this folder, remove the first three lines of the CSV file, and rename the columns according to our own weather.csv.

  4. Run the network.ipynb notebook to parse the networking data into CSV files.

  5. Run the analyze.ipynb notebook to analyze the data.
