The Beauty of Weather Information

[Andreas]

Als Komplement zu The Beauty of Data Visualization, hier ein wenig im Séparée.

Vor allem wollte ich hier mal Ventusky posten, die meisten kennen die Seite ohnehin schon, vielleicht aber auch manche noch nicht.

Ventusky

The Ventusky web application has been developed by InMeteo, a Czech meteorological company based in Pilsen in collaboration with Marek Mojzík and Martin Prantl.

Ventusky - Weather Forecast Maps

About

For visualisation of wind data, we utilise current lines that are used to illustrate the movement of particles in liquids. Air and liquid have many similar physical properties, and, as published by Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg (Hint.fm, 2012), current lines are suitable for illustrating wind as well. Because of this, the map depicts wonderful formations illustrating pressure lows that draw in the air around them. We have created an entirely new system of displaying waves.

Through the use of animated arcs, our visualisation clearly differentiates the direction of movement and height of both wind waves and swells. For the other meteorological elements, we chose colour scales that appropriately illustrate precipitation, air pressure, and temperature. The colours correspond with the feeling that the given weather phenomena evokes in us. For temperature, blue illustrates cool weather while dark red depicts hot desert air. For precipitation, we concentrated on the danger associated with it. Blue colours represent low precipitation totals that will not result in floods. Orange and red hues, on the other hand, are dangerous and may bring flooding.

The name itself, Ventusky, is a combination of two words. The first is the Latin word, Ventus, means wind, and the second is the English word, Sky.

EARTH by Cameron Beccario

137 | Visualizing Earth with Cameron Beccario

– Interview with Cameron Beccario by Moritz Stefaner | Eyeo Festival of http://datastori.es/ on 28/03/2019.

About the art

EARTH, by Cameron Beccario, is a near real-time visualization of global weather conditions forecast by supercomputers. This vivid capture depicts intricate, dramatic swirling patterns of wind streamlines reminiscent of oil paintings of the Impressionists.

About the artist

CAMERON BECCARIO’S creation, Earth. depicts wind patterns on a global scale. The artist began with a wind map of Tokyo, where he lives, and then he took on the world. You can see his animated creation at earth.nullschool.net.

Purchasing a fine art print helps the artist with site maintenance costs and to continue development of Earth.
