Recently the Mapbox spider web log posted a actually awesome map of Hurricane Patricia. The map uses the Mapbox GL video overlay capabilities to practise an animated map of NOAA's predictive GFS-model of Hurricane Patricia current of air gusts.
Mapbox accept immediately created an fifty-fifty to a greater extent than impressive map. Animated Atmosperic Water is a global map of NOAA's 3-hour interval GFS model composite of precipitable H2O inwards the atmosphere (October 15-28).
When I recall most how much operate went into creating the absolutely amazing animated current of air map, Earth.nullschool, as well as thus it's difficult non to recall that animating weather condition information on a map using a video is cheating a little. However it is a bright cheat.
Mapbox GL video overlays let y'all to chop-chop practise actually impressive animated weather condition maps (as long every bit y'all accept access to actually impressive weather condition videos). I too assume that using a video rather than animating thousands of private points of information on the map agency that the map itself performs much to a greater extent than efficiently.
