What can we learn by visualizing global weather station data in a 3D environment using Three.js?

Background

We visualized weather stations around the world in a 3D environment.

What did we learn?

Besides getting familiar with 'Three.js' JavaScript 3D library for the first time, we have learned how to use it to visualize data; translating and animating the geo-locations of the weather stations from a more conventional 2D projection mapping to 3D, which resulted in a simple, yet interesting visualization.

Ambitions

This experiment fed into the development of our Weather Chart projects, which elaborated on weather data to a much bigger extent.
