Artometry Exploring the Intersection of Art, Science & Technology

Learning Resource

earth :: global map of wind, weather and ocean conditions

A browser-based globe that renders global wind, temperature, ocean currents, waves and other weather data as flowing streaks, with switchable projections and layers. Its way of drawing a vector field as countless moving particles carries straight over to visualising mathematical vector fields.
