“The
image above is a screenshot from an amazing
interactive global map of near-real-time wind pattern forecasts, based on
data from the Global Forecast System.
Cameron Beccario, inspired by last year's extremely popular U.S. wind map, built this visualization using
D3 and other javascript modules. The interactive version is really fun to play
with by turning the globe with your mouse, and the patterns are nothing short
of mesmerizing. It's maps like these that make us really
want to learn how to code.”
We are starting off the New Year
with Wired Science’s Best Maps of 2013. Or,
as they titled them, “The Most Amazing, Beautiful, and Viral Maps of the Year.”
A great selection, and of the 15 maps they featured, 3 are about New York
City. I found this one, NYC Henge, to be
particularly interesting.
“Twice a year, the
setting sun lines up with the street grid of New York City's Manhattan,
creating an incredible show and a free-for-all for amateur photographers. The
phenomenon is known as Manhattanhenge, but the map above, dubbed NYCHenge and made by Javier Santana shows when and where the show
can be caught all across New York City, any day of the year.”

for all the best maps.
beautiful map, maybe there will be another version in the future that can show a beautiful map
