The production of Cartographic Animation would have never been made available without the major technological advancements of the 1990s. The advancements in technology allowed two dimensional and three dimensional imagery to communicate atmospheric phenomena through in-time visualization. Cartographic animation allows the viewer to watch distinct changes in the atmosphere over time as well as help recognize trends or patterns. The cartographic animation shown above is a representation of the global seasonal temperature variations from 1971-2000. Judging from the graph temperatures decrease as latitude increases. The temperatures during that period range from -40C to 30C with the tropics on the higher end of that spectrum and polar regions on the lower end.
