As The Crow Flies

I beloved CartoDB's Torque. It is a rattling 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 so e'er a please to come upwardly across a Torque powered map which is genuinely both visually compelling in addition to informative at the same time. Lifewatch Inbo has used Torque to practise a frontward trajectory model to visualize plane migration.

In a serial of animated CartoDB Torque powered maps Lifewatch Inbo has visualized the flying migration of birds over the course of written report of ane night. Using CartoDB to Visualize How Far Birds Migrate inwards a Single Night uses information from the ROBIN plane radar detection arrangement to imitate the trajectory of private birds from Kingdom of Belgium in addition to the Netherlands on the nighttime of Apr 7-8, 2013.

In each of the maps yous tin laissez passer the sack sentiment an animated simulation of the birds' migration based on the birds' airspeed in addition to the air current weather condition on the 2 nights inwards question.
