Experimental Temperature Visualisation

This is an experimental visualisation of all temperature readings between 1800 and 2009,

It uses the HadCRUT3 subset January 2010 release from: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/climate-monitoring/land-and-atmo...

The music can be downloaded for free from: http://www.ichiigai.net/release/spielgelbild

The animation was generated using Python in Blender 3D (all free software). Each spike stands for a location where temperatures were recorded. The length and colour reflect the temperature.

haha, where did you get the data?

@Qemum Check the link in the description... it's there.

@macouno if I can ask, you did that as a job for them, or only just as a hobby? :) good luck.

@Qemum Just as an artistic experiment, I have no ties to the met office.

@eriksp1994 just shows more recordings.

By using such visual tools one might come across a symmetry.

Couldn't this be considered a data mining experiment?

@brian651msp This may mislead you think like that because there is growing samples of data at different locations with the years. However, I wonder why there are places with the spike seemingly not moving.

@eriksp1994 Kind of Entropy?

[eriksp1994]

i feel as if this supports the argument against the existence of global warming. it shows that temperatures have been rising even before automotive vehicles were manufactured. I also feel that this shows when the earth dies out because of excessive heat, but idk. argue against me some1 :)

Wow, there were a lot less temperatures back in 1800!

So what does this visualisation tell us really? Is the weather getting more unpredictable or is there just more detailed data the closer to today? Or why is the thing growing?
