Create visualization of California coastal ocean temperature data to find monthly and yearly trends.
Visualization should invite interaction to create and answer questions such as:
- Why are ocean temperatures generally lowest in spring rather than winter?
- Are ocean temperatures increasing?
- What are the visible effects of El Nino?
- What is the temperature of the ocean near San Francisco?
Data source: National Data Buoy Center. Historical data, such as 46213 Cape Mendocino, is mostly available since 1982. Extract, transform, and reduce scripts run on Node, publically available in source code.
This visualization is created using D3 and Three.js libraries.
