New Mapping Us Temperature Anomalies

U.S. Daily Temperature Anomalies 2010-2013 is an animated map of unusually high together with depression recorded temperatures inwards the United States. The map uses CartoDB's Torque library to animate through the 4 years of temperature data.

The animated conditions patterns which emerge on the map seem to reverberate the influence of the Westerlies on the United States. As the animation plays out at that spot appears to last a full general due west to E drive of these temperature anomalies from 2010-2013.


The U.S. Daily Temperature Anomalies 2010-2013 map uses information from the U.S. Daily Temperature Anomalies 1964-2013 map.  This timeline together with map plots temperature anomalies from 2,716 conditions stations inwards the US, which bring information going dorsum fifty years.

Each station's daily temperature recordings bring been compared to the corresponding monthly distribution. If the temperature at the station cruel inwards the bottom or elevation 2% on a given solar daytime it is labelled an anomaly.

The map animates through the fifty years of temperature anomalies at all 2,716 conditions stations. Warm anomalies are present on the map inwards cherry-red together with mutual frigidness anomalies are displayed amongst blueish dots. Beneath the map a graph plots the yearly proportion of warm anomalies to mutual frigidness anomalies. The graph shows a clear tendency towards e'er increasing warm anomalies inwards the United States.
