Description

This map shows simulated weather patterns in and around the state of Wisconsin.

Purpose

The purpose of this map is to show how the type of visually rich, 3 dimensional weather maps that we have become used to seeing in television news can now be created in real time on the web and in a form where the user can interact with the map.

Features

• Volumetric rendering
  The simulated weather patterns in this map are defined by volumetric data, which is then converted (as the animation runs) into surface models that can be drawn by the Hypercosm volumetric rendering features.
