New The Best European Plane Maps

Belgium's birds are a lot similar New York cabs.

Actually Belgium's birds are nada similar New York cabs - but they produce accept 1 affair inwards mutual - people can't halt mapping them. In America Chris Wong's taxi data has proved irresistible to mappers, European mappers notwithstanding patently can't become plenty of LiveWatch INBO's Kingdom of Belgium plane data.

At the get-go of the calendar month I posted a round-up of the Top Five NYC Taxis Maps. Now it's fourth dimension for the best European plane maps.


Two Gull Migrations, yesteryear Liz Scott, is an animated map showing the movements of 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls (Gull 719 as well as Gull 623) over 1 year. Using the map you lot tin follow the migratory patterns of both birds over the shape of 1 year.

Gull 623 seems to accept a wider migratory pattern, flying downwardly to Republic of Guinea-Bissau for the winter, whereas Gull 719 prefers the milder climes of southern Kingdom of Spain inwards the wintertime months.


LifeWatch's ain maps accept looked at the movements of the tracked birds over shorter fourth dimension periods.

These maps include an intensity map of Eric, a Lesser Black-backed Gull, breeding inwards the colony of Zeebrugge. The map shows Eric's movements over 2 months, revealing his close visited locations, including his frequent day-trips to Bruges.

Using the same information LifeWatch equally good created a map showing Eric's paths for every day. In this map Eric's daily flying paths are colored yesteryear twenty-four hours to demonstrate how his flying blueprint changed over the 2 months inwards question.


Lifewatch has equally good used CartoDB's Torque to visualize plane migration patterns over the shape of 2 nights. In a serial of animated CartoDB Torque powered maps Lifewatch Inbo has visualized the flying migration of birds on the nights of Apr 7-8, 2013.

Using CartoDB to Visualize How Far Birds Migrate inwards a Single Night uses information from the ROBIN plane radar detection organization to imitate the trajectory of private birds from Kingdom of Belgium as well as the Netherlands. In each of the maps you lot tin stance an animated simulation of the birds' migration based on the birds' airspeed as well as the air current atmospheric condition on the nights inwards question.


The EuroBirdPortal (EBP) is establishing a European broad information repository of plane sightings inwards lodge to model the distribution of dissimilar species of birds over fourth dimension as well as infinite as well as to flora the migratory patterns of those species.

The EBP has released a demonstration map to visualize the calendar week yesteryear calendar week distributional patterns of xv species of birds over iv years. The map uses CartoDB's Torque library to animate the European broad sightings of the xv species during 2010 to 2013.

The plane sightings map is accompanied yesteryear but about other map which animates climatic variables, as well as then that you lot tin compare the distribution of the dissimilar plane species to the annual changes inwards temperature as well as precipitation. Press play on the map as well as you lot tin stance an animation of the plane sightings across Europe for the selected yr inwards the left-hand map. At the same fourth dimension you lot tin stance an animation of atmospheric precipitation or temperature records for the same menses on the right-hand map.
