[OC] I tried to visualize air pollutants data over the globe. (Copernicus CAMS)
I'm aware this is like one of the most made project. But I thought it looked quite cool so I thought of sharing. I like that you can get a feel of the direction of flow of pollutants via this visualization. I chose dots over a general gradient to give that comic book esque feel. I'm thinking of adding major events as timestamps you can visit to see the change in pollutants.
The inspiration for this project came as Diwali is coming in India and I wanted a visual way to see how much worse the air quality will get in Delhi. Which lead to this rabbit hole.
PS. Please let me know if you would have liked to see something added to this.
