Python / matplotlib code & data to construct the sea surface temperature anomaly visualization
Raw
oceanTemperatureAnomalies.py
#
# Hi,
# this is the Python code I used to make the sea surface temperature anomaly
# visualization https://twitter.com/anttilip/status/899005930141921280.
# This is a version in which the AREA of the circle represents the temperature
# anomaly (not radius).
# The data is included in this file but I plan to write some kind of tutorial
# in the near future how the average temperatures were computed (using GDAL
# and suitable masks).
# Feel free to improve, modify, do whatever you want with this code. If you decide
# to use the code, make an improved version of it, or it is useful for you
# in some another way I would be happy to know about it. You can contact me
# for example in Twitter (@anttilip).
#
# Thanks and have fun!
# Antti
#
# To run this code and generate the video file:
# mkdir frames
# python oceanTemperatureAnomalies.py
# ffmpeg -framerate 28 -pattern_type glob -i 'frames/*.png' -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p SeaSurfaceTemperatureAnomaliesArea.mp4
