54-Satellite Aerial Map using KML to embed information on the map

KML – Aerial Satellite Map (from Google Earth) – of Paradise Island at One & Only Ocean Club Paradise Island - Po Box N 4777, Paradise Island, Bahamas. The URL is: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=The+Ocean+Club,+Paradise+Island,+Bahamas&sll=25.0836,-77.3195&sspn=0.0107655,0.0150392&ie=UTF8&v=2.2&cv=5.0.11733.9347&hl=en&latlng=25085910,-77319000,715816747728306402&ei=fA1QSu2rFZvcMI7gof8J&cd=1&dtab=5. This map provides detailed information embedded in the aerial map itself such as the location of the Ocean Club, and other cool features of the Atlantis Paradise Island resort.

19 - Doppler Radar

This Dopplar radar image is from URL: http://www.weatherusa.net/blog/images/doppler-orlando-1943.gif, and depicts weather data to forcasters using satellites that utilize the Dopplar effect of returned echoes from targets (e.g. raindrops).

24-Isopach Map

This isopach map at: http://www.geo.mtu.edu/volcanoes/central_america/nicaragua/cerro_negro/gvn/images/2012neg4.jpg shows ashfall distribution over a geographic area in a given time period. An isopach map is a contour map showing the distribution and thickness of some substance, such as thickness of a stratigraphic layer, or distribution/density of ashfall.

28-DEM (Digital Elevation Map)

The URL: http://www.terrainmap.com/ provides information on a combined set of maps. That is, overlaying both Digital Line Graph (DLG) data on a Digital Elevation Map (DEM). In this example below, rasterized vector data has been overlayed on a DEM to produce the drainage basin map here.

39-Bilateral graph

This bilateral graph at: http://www.rowperfect.com.au/innovative_training.html shows data points represented both above and below a zero line. In this specific example, shows the speed of a boat and rower relative to a common center of gravity.

48-Histogram

This histogram shows multiple disparate but related pieces of data related to a geographic area. In this example, for a total population across numerous geographic locations, comparisons of total dog ownership to vet visits is depicted. The URL is: http://www.alignstar.com/screenshots.html

45-Windrose

This Windrose map at URL: http://www.emeraldinsight.com/fig/1820250403012.png. It shows wind direction and wind speed in a particular geographic location (e.g. at an airport).

44-Climograph

A climograph is a graph that allows one to analyze climates in geographic areas across a number of criteria (e.g. temperature and precipitation). In the example provided, monthly precipitation is plotted with a bar graph, and temperature with a line graph. Wet or dry season variances in the extreme can be noticed using this sort of graph. The URL for this graph is: http://www.washburn.edu/faculty/tfry/Climate%20article.htm

42- Scatterplot

This is a scatterplot which is a set of x/y values mapped in a graph used to represent some data. In this example, it shows the variation in food consumption by three different fish species over a time frame. The URL for the scatterplot is: http://www.uwlax.edu/biology/communication/ExcelFigures.html

1-Mental Maps

This is a mental map drawn by a homeless cartographer named Stephen at age 41. This mental map is his depiction, and understanding of the city of Amsterdam. Mental maps draw upon someones interpretation and familiarity with a given environment, and thus may not be terribly accurate when compared against say, a map developed by a cartographer working for the US Geological survey. The map URL is: http://fasica.altervista.org/adam/adam_en.htm

18-Black and White Aerial Photo

This black and white aerial photo was taken from: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/wiacrev/data/images/V46/reference/WAR0460101502r.jpeg&imgrefurl=http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/wiacrev/wiacrev-idx%3Ftype%3DHTML%26rgn%3DDIV1%26byte%3D559340%26q1%3D%26q2%3D%26q3%3D&usg=__fSTWjXYcCTFuJGkuCqrLnb3q03I=&h=285&w=468&sz=18&hl=en&start=15&um=1&tbnid=d3MBWzi3pxDojM:&tbnh=78&tbnw=128&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblack%2Band%2Bwhite%2Bariel%2Bphoto%26hl%3Den%26um%3D1. It depicts urban sprawl near the edge of Madison, Wisconsin, and was a method of early land mapping to aid the USGS in accurately mapping areas of the Earth.

Map 17 - Infrared Aerial Photo Map

This is an infrared aerial photo I got from:



http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real-time/shemi/images/xxirgms5wn.GIF

In infrared map allows us to see variations in surface/object temperature. Warm objects emit infrared light, and the hotter the surface, the shorter the wavelength, thus you see a corresponding glow (e.g. red light). This enables weather forcasters to notice storms, or rescue workers to locate warm bodies in oceans, or in forests through vegetation or fog.
