Animated Weather Condition Maps

Recently the Mapbox spider web log posted a actually awesome map of Hurricane Patricia. The map uses the Mapbox GL video overlay capabilities to practice an animated map of NOAA's predictive GFS-model of Hurricane Patricia air current gusts.

Mapbox accept at ane time 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 remember nearly how much survive went into creating the absolutely amazing animated air current map, Earth.nullschool, too hence it's difficult non to remember that animating weather condition information on a map using a video is cheating a little. However it is a vivid cheat.

Mapbox GL video overlays permit y'all to rapidly practice actually impressive animated weather condition maps (as long every bit y'all accept access to actually impressive weather condition videos). I besides 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.
