Since its unloose 2 years agone Hint.fm's beautiful Wind Map has proved a root of inspiration to a publish of map developers. This real-time animated map of current of air speed as well as management actually is a gorgeous realization of alive meteorological data. It is no surprise as well as thus that it has proved a root of inspiration for other cartographers.
The National Oceanic as well as Atmospheric Association were thus impressed yesteryear the Wind Map that they decided to exercise their ain real-time weather condition map of the Great Lakes. Being the Great Lakes even thus the NOAA decided to map alive lake currents instead of wind.
The resulting Great Lakes Surface Currents Map is an animated map simulating electrical flow menses patterns inwards the Great Lakes.
Over inwards Nippon about map developers were thus inspired yesteryear Hint.fm's Wind Map that they decided to exercise their ain map. The Tokyo Wind Map is an animated map of real-time current of air speeds as well as direction. The map too includes controls to persuasion previous hours' current of air information on the map.
The developers behind the Tokyo Wind Map as well as thus went on to exercise an fifty-fifty to a greater extent than impressive visualization of most real-time global weather condition conditions. Like Hint.fm as well as the Tokyo Wind Map, Earth uses D3.js to exercise an interactive map that displays current of air speeds inwards most real-time, solely this fourth dimension the map is a gorgeous 3d globe.
Esri were inwards plough thus inspired yesteryear the basis 3d globe that they as well as thus went on to develop Windy-JS.
Windy-JS re-purposes the same weather condition information used inwards the basis map thus that it tin hold out overlaid inwards a sheet chemical constituent on altitude of a multifariousness of mapping APIs. Esri has created a demonstrate map amongst Windy-JS, Wind Animation, which allows yous to persuasion global current of air conditions animated on a slippy map.
