20. Real-Time Data Map

Writer's picture: Weixiao HuWeixiao Hu

In this in this exercise, I am learning how to implement and create a real-time data map by going through the storymap "Predict weather with real-time data". The storymap exercise have two part Create a real-time map and Predict weather.

Part 1: Create a real-time map

For start, I open new map viewer and make a few bookmarks for some of the major regions. Then, I add layer Light Gray Canvas as a basemap.

Next, I start real-time data layer by using the add web service function to add the data from website.

Also, I added the active hurricane from layer the Living Atlas Layers.

Next, add Current Weather and Wind Station Data layer.


Following the storymap, I had added few real-time data layer to the map. However, the step for merge the two Current Weather and Wind Station Data layer become a issue, which I could find the merge bottom. So, I switch to map viewer classic.

From the new merged layer NOAA METAR Station Data, I make two more copy layer.

Lastly, I add two more layer from web of State County Boundaries.


Part 2 - Predict weather

I edit the NOAA METAR Temperature layer changed the style to show the counts and amounts of the temperature.

Nest, I analysis the map GOES Satellite Imagery and Current Weather and Wind Station by measure the direction of wind.

Then add and make new map notes layer marking the low/high pressure.

Next, I edit the NOAA METAR Pressure layer.

Then, I created a new NOAA METAR Dew Point Temperature Difference layer from NOAA METAR Pressure layer show the difference of low and high temperature.

Also, I simply examine the hurricanes layer.

lasty, I interpolate the NOAA METAR Temperature to make a new temperature layer.

The real-time data map is similar too normal web map, the only deafferents are data, which is live and changing all the time.
