I’m a sucker for 3D spatial visualisations and this one of Super Typhoon Nepartak by Craig Taylor is no exception. He’s taken NASA precipitation radar data and used reflectivity values to define both colour and intensity of the 3D points.
I spent too long last night looking at @NASA Storm Viewer (https://t.co/p88L4fmLOQ). I decided to put some of the Dual Freq Precip Radar data through #c4d and render in #octane. The below is Storm Mangkhut taken on 2018- 09-13. (hi-res image: https://t.co/5Xgued50B7) #map #3d pic.twitter.com/Y2HT9MyF49
