The Weather's Getting Animated


The conditions has been looking amend lately. This is largely due to some peachy operate beingness done past times CartoDB in addition to Mapbox.

Last week CartoDB Heat Maps was used to practise this map of historical Hurricane in addition to Tropical Cyclone Track Density. The map animates the rail density of hurricanes in addition to tropical cyclones from 2000-2013, using information from the National Climatic Data Center. Over at Mapbox they've been using Turf.js to create Animated Heatmaps in addition to Grids. A map which non exclusively shows an animated heat-map of historical hail information exactly besides allows you lot to persuasion the information every bit animated hexbins, triangles, squares in addition to points.

Turf tin besides endure used alongside Leaflet, every bit TannerGeo has shown alongside this Weather inwards Turf map. As you lot are in all probability aware Feb was an historically mutual depression temperature calendar month inwards the USA. Weather inwards Turf uses information from NOAA to visualize conditions station information from across the US. The map uses a Voronoi diagram overlay to exhibit a heat-map of temperature, mapped to the closest conditions station.


The Leaflet TimeDimension plug-in tin besides endure used to animate conditions information on a Leaflet map. The Leaflet TimeDimension Examples page has a publish of instance maps alongside animated conditions layers.

One neat instance is this Climate Projection map which uses information from the Postdam Institute for Climate Impact Research to exhibit projected temperature changes or in addition to then the globe upward to 2099. This animated heat-map shows the projected effects of global warming over the adjacent century.
