I dear CartoDB's Torque. It is a real powerful mapping tool for plotting geographical information over time. Unfortunately it gets a lot of unfair criticism because of all those stupid Twitter maps that everyone insists on using it for.
It is hence ever a please to come upwardly across a Torque powered map which is genuinely both visually compelling together with informative at the same time. Lifewatch Inbo has used Torque to exercise a forrad trajectory model to visualize aeroplane migration.
In a serial of animated CartoDB Torque powered maps Lifewatch Inbo has visualized the flying migration of birds over the course of pedagogy of 1 night. Using CartoDB to Visualize How Far Birds Migrate inwards a Single Night uses information from the ROBIN aeroplane radar detection organization to copy the trajectory of private birds from Kingdom of Belgium together with the Netherlands on the black of Apr 7-8, 2013.
In each of the maps y'all tin thought an animated simulation of the birds' migration based on the birds' airspeed together with the current of air atmospheric condition on the ii nights inwards question.
