Earth is a JavaScript web application that visualizes global weather, wind, ocean currents, and related atmospheric conditions on an animated interactive globe. It powers the well-known earth.nullschool.net site and renders data from sources like NOAA GFS using D3 and TopoJSON in the browser.

Use cases

• visualize global wind patterns on an interactive globe
• display animated ocean currents and wave data
• build a custom weather map web application
• explore atmospheric data like temperature, pressure, and aerosols visually
• render geospatial vector data with D3 and TopoJSON
• create an animated globe of real-time forecast data

When to choose

• you want a browser-based animated globe for weather or ocean data
• you need a proven open-source codebase to customize for your own geospatial visualization
• you want to learn browser-based D3/Canvas geospatial rendering techniques

When to avoid

• you need a maintained library with active support - development is sporadic and it is a personal project
• you need a reusable npm library or API rather than a self-contained application
• you need server-side rendering or mobile-native apps
